The Edo State House of Assembly issued a summons to Natasha Irobosa, the representative for Egor Constituency, requiring her to appear before the Ethics and Privileges Committee within the next seven days.
The legislative body explained that the invitation comes from allegations of misconduct against her, providing an opportunity for Irobosa to address the claims.
During the plenary session, Speaker Blessing Agbebaku emphasized the need for her to explain how her actions have tarnished the Assembly’s reputation. He stated, “Hon. Natasha Irobosa has been called to face the Ethics and Privileges Committee over her latest behavior, which has gone viral online. This kind of conduct pulls the House’s name through the dirt, and it’s our duty as lawmakers to uphold proper standards.”
Agbebaku continued, “This institution is home to sharp, well-educated individuals who’ve endured enough mudslinging from one of our own, Hon. Natasha. She’s been all over social media and TV lately, but for all the wrong reasons. We have competent members who understand their roles, yet her behavior has damaged the House’s standing, and we won’t stand for it.”
The Speaker added that the committee is expected to deliver its report and recommendations to the full House within two weeks.
Irobosa has recently drawn widespread negative attention following the leak of a video capturing a heated argument between her and her husband, Innocent Idibia, which quickly spread across the internet.
