The Speaker of the Enugu State House of Assembly, Mr Eugene Odo, has portrayed his indicated reprimand by the nine-man group of the legislators as administrative carelessness and exemption.
Odo told the News Agency of Nigeria on Monday that he was still the speaker of the Assembly.
He noticed that the activity of the Chinedu Nwamba gathering was illicit, obscure to law and obscure to majority rule government.
"The norm remains. I am still the speaker. It is just 66% of the 24 administrators that can impugn or suspend the speaker and just eight of them can't suspend or indict the speaker.
"Doubtlessly they shaped a majority however a majority can't impugn the speaker,'' Odo said.
He said he was being aggrieved for not marking a manufactured supplementary allotment for 2012, which the representative supposedly needed him and the Clerk of the Assembly to sign in 2015.
Odo asserted that the report had no records in the procedures of the Assembly.
The speaker said the emergency began when the legislators declined to sign the N11bn credit looked for by the representative under 60 days to the end of his residency.
"The representative surreptitiously called a few individuals and issued them N2m each to impugn the Speaker,'' he asserted.
As indicated by him, one of the legislators, who felt that the indictment was against his soul, hauled out, leaving just eight of them.
The speaker said the Assembly would resume its whole session on Tuesday.
