Wednesday’s plenary meeting of the Edo State House of Assembly had a small drama when Natasha Osawaru, the deputy majority leader of the house, was asked to leave due to her inappropriate attire and use of black makeup.

According to ZINGTIE, after Nicholas Asonsere of the Ikpoba Okha Constituency raised a point of order, Speaker of the House Blessing Agbebaku ordered the legislator representing Egor Constituency to leave the room.

Asonsere raised a point of order, stating that the Deputy Majority Leader’s attire was not compliant with House norms.

“This hallowed chamber is a sacred home. We will not continue to accept or allow anybody to bring it to disrepute.

“We have tolerated enough of the attitude and behaviour of some honourable members so to speak, and if we did not correct this now, it would become a precedent for others to emulate, if not now, in the near future.

“Please, Mr Speaker if I have the permission, I want to crave the indulgence to read some rules of the House sections and subsections.

“We have our own Bible which is often referred to as the Rules of the Edo State House of Assembly upon this we are being guided.

“Any member that violates or contravenes the rules is punishable by the law,” he said.

While directing the Deputy Majority Leader to exit the room, the Speaker claimed that the action complies with House procedures rather than his own initiative.

“Improper dressing and wearing of dark shade is not allowed in this House. It is not me that said it but the House rules. So, please, let us always comply with these our rules,” he added.
