By Engr. Franklin Miebi Garry

The recent suspension of lawmaker Hon. Oboro Preyor, representing Bomadi Constituency by the Delta State Assembly has raised eyebrows, with many questioning the grounds for this decision. As the Governor presents the 2025 budget proposal to the State Assembly, attention turns to the circumstances surrounding Preyor’s suspension.

The Need for Transparency

In the interest of accountability and transparency, the Speaker must provide clear explanations for the actions taken against Preyor as the people of Delta State deserve to know what constitutes “gross misconduct” in this context.

Key Questions

•What specific actions or behaviors led to Preyor’s suspension?
•Were there any prior warnings or disciplinary measures taken before the suspension?
• How does the Assembly define “gross misconduct,” and are these guidelines publicly available?

A Call to Action

We urge the Speaker to provide a detailed response to these questions, ensuring that the people of Delta State understand the reasoning behind Preyor’s suspension. Transparency is essential in maintaining public trust and confidence in the Assembly’s decision-making processes.

The good people of Bomadi constituency deserve to be represented at the discussions of the State budget, so we urge the Speaker to do all within his power to include our representative in the discussions of the 2025 budget.
