The Anambra State House of Assembly has commenced procedures to recall Bernard Udemezue, a representative from Ayamelum Constituency, who was previously suspended due to a social media post deemed damaging by the assembly. This suspension, which began in August 2025, was a result of Udemezue's allegations that his constituency was being marginalized regarding constituency allowances. The assembly found his conduct to be unparliamentary and decided upon a three-month suspension after reviewing a report from the Committee on Ethics and Privileges.

Following this disciplinary action, the lawmaker faced an additional suspension for an equal period after he failed to adhere to the directives issued by the assembly. The original allegations made by Udemezue highlighted significant issues regarding resource allocation in his constituency, raising questions about the governance and attention given to different regions in Anambra State. The move to recall him signals ongoing tensions within the assembly and the potential for accountability regarding the treatment of lawmakers who voice concerns about their constituencies.

Moreover, the situation emphasizes the importance of social media as a platform for political dialogue and the potential repercussions of using it to challenge established power dynamics. As the assembly advances in its recall efforts, the implications for Udemezue’s political future and the response from his constituents will be keenly watched, reflecting the intricate interplay between social media engagement and legislative conduct in Nigeria.
