The deputy speaker and member representing Afikpo South East constituency, Hon Blaise Orji has been suspended by the Ebonyi State House of Assembly.

He was suspended a few hours ago during the assembly's plenary along with two others, Hon Eni Uduma Chima, representing Afipko South West Constituency and Hon Frank Onwe representing Ohaukwu North State constituency.

They were reportedly suspended over their insubordination and attempt to cause disaffection between the legislature and the executive arm of government.

Hon. Blaise Orji was nominated last year March for the position after the house of assembly removed Hon. Valentine Okike who was the deputy speaker for alleged improper dressing to official functions.
