The extension was approved during a plenary session on Tuesday in Calabar. Ovat Ogbor, the member representing Obubra I State Constituency, moved the motion, and Francis Ogban of Biase State Constituency seconded it.
Davies Eta, the Chairman of the investigating committee, explained that the extension was necessary to allow his team more time to conclude its investigation and prepare a comprehensive report for the House.
After the motion passed, the Speaker, Elvert Ayambem, officially extended Ushie’s suspension for an additional three months, pending the outcome of the investigation.
