Outcry Erupts as Legislator Allegedly Barred from Assembly Premises Over Tricycle Usage

By Daniel Edu

Udemezue Bernard Abuchi, the representative of Ayamelum Constituency within the Anambra state House of Assembly, encountered obstruction when attempting to enter the Assembly complex due to his purported use of a tricycle, commonly referred to as a Keke.

A widely circulated online video captures Abuchi expressing his frustration at the denial of access to the Assembly premises. Amid his vocal protestation over not having been provided with a vehicle, women in the background remarked that cars would be allocated to senators in the near future, underscoring that tricycles are not permitted within the complex.

This footage has evoked a range of responses from various users on social media platforms.

ada_thefirst commented: “And listen to them shouting ‘very soon.’ It’s become a recurring pattern. They use our tax money to buy cars for themselves, as if we prefer not to witness them in tricycles.”

themeatvilla added: “Nevertheless, they might have permitted his entry through self-recognition.”
