Edo Lawmakers Walk Out Female Commissioner For Improper Dressing

Members of the Edo state House of Assembly, earlier today asked the Commissioner for Health, Mrs Aihamuwa Eregie to vacate the house for improper dressing.

Eregie was asked to leave the hallowed chamber during the presentation of the 2015 budget performance of the Ministry of Health.

Deputy Speaker, Mr Bright Osayande, (APC- Ovia North-East II) who raised the observation, said the commissioner was not properly dressed and should not be allowed to appear before the house. Mr Adjoto Kabiru, (APC Akoko-Edo) who concurred with the observation, said that the commissioner’s mode of dressing contravened the house rule.

Kabiru said:

"Mr speaker, you will recall that when one of us was not properly dressed, he was asked to leave the chamber.......So the commissioner should excuse us because she is not properly dressed."

Other lawmakers, who commented on the point raised by the deputy speaker, gave their unanimous support that the Commissioner should quit the chamber.

Did you just asked of what she was wearing? She wore a long sleeve shirt on trouser.
