In Awka, Speaker of the Anambra House of Assembly, Somtochukwu Udeze, has sworn in Justice Azuka as the lawmaker representing Onitsha North Constituency I on Tuesday.
Azuka replaces Douglas Egbuna of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who was sacked from the seat by court verdicts.
TrackNews Media gathered that the Election Petition Appeal Court that sat in Awka on November 25 upheld the declaration of the Anambra State House of Assembly Election Petition Tribunal that sacked Egbuna in September.
The tribunal had directed INEC to withdraw the Certificate of Return issued to Egbuna and declared Azuka as the rightful winner of the March 18 election held in the state.
Also on Tuesday, the speaker read a letter from Governor Chukwuma Soludo requesting for approval to borrow N2 billion as loan to be disbursed as palliatives over fuel subsidy removal.
According to the letter dated December 18, the Federal Government will repay 52 per cent of the loan, while the state government will repay the balance of 48 per cent.
Also at the plenary session, the House felicitated with the longest-serving traditional ruler in the southeast geopolitical zone, Igwe Kenneth Orizu of Nnewi as he marks his 98th birthday and 60th anniversary on the throne.
The motion to congratulate the traditional ruler was moved by Hon. Augustine Ike.
