The Anambra State House of Assembly is moving to recall suspended lawmaker Bernard Udemezue, representing Ayamelum Constituency, after he was suspended for sharing “damaging content” on social media alleging marginalization in constituency allowance distribution.
Udemezue was initially suspended for three months in August 2025, with an additional three-month suspension added later, set to lapse on February 26, 2026.
However, the Speaker, Anambra State House of Assembly, Somtochukwu Udeze, during plenary on Tuesday, directed the House Committee on Rules, Ethics and Privileges to review the suspension of Udemezue, in preparation for his recall.
Udeze charged the Committee, chaired by the Majority Leader, Ikenna Ofodeme, to “urgently re-examine the matter in line with the House resolution and report back to the Assembly on the next adjourned date”.
The Speaker said: “The suspension remains subject to review by the Committee, which is expected to assess the level of compliance by Hon. Udemezue with the resolutions of the House before making its recommendations.”
The House later adjourned plenary to February 19, 2026.
