APGA Lawmaker Sparks Outrage After Seconding Motion She Couldn’t Identify
Anambra lawmaker Maureen Chinwe Gwacham has faced sharp criticism after a video showed her seconding a motion she couldn’t name. The clip from a recent House of Representatives plenary captured her confusion when the speaker asked, “What motion is that?” and she admitted she had no idea what she was endorsing. The 25-second video has since triggered widespread outrage online. Many Nigerians described the moment as a glaring example of legislative unseriousness. They questioned how elected representatives can support motions without understanding them. Gwacham is one of just 17 women in the 10th National Assembly of 469 members. The incident has reignited debates about lawmakers’ preparedness, accountability, and the quality of representation.
