Delta Assembly suspends lawmaker Oboro Preyor over alleged misconduct

The Delta State House of Assembly has suspended Mr. Oboro Preyor (PDP-Bomadi) for alleged misconduct, making him the second lawmaker to be suspended within a week.

This decision follows the earlier suspension of Mr. Chukudi Edafe (PDP-Ukwuani).

Speaker Dennis Guwor announced Preyor’s suspension during Tuesday’s plenary session in Asaba. The motion for suspension was presented by the Majority Leader, Mr. Emeka Nwaobi (PDP-Aniocha North), under urgent public importance. Mr. Matthew Omonade (APC-Ughelli North I) seconded the motion, which the House passed unanimously through a voice vote.

Preyor, who chairs the House Committee on Works and Special Projects, has been suspended for 14 legislative days. During this period, a committee will be formed to investigate the allegations of misconduct leveled against him.

”The House hereby suspends the member representing Bomadi constituency in the State House of Assembly over misconduct.

”In subsequent date, a committee will be set up to investigate the misconduct,” Guwor said.

He also directed the Sargent-at-Arm to lead the suspended lawmaker out of the main chamber of the Assembly complex.

The House also received a letter of notification by Gov. Sheriff Oborevwori to present the 2025 Appropriation Bill on Thursday.

It also received a bill to amend the Delta State University of Science and Technology, Ozoro, to reflect a change of name to Southern Delta University, Ozoro.

The bill, which was conveyed in a letter by the governor, was read to the members by the speaker.
