Mr Idiaye, removed on Wednesday during plenary, was replaced with Roland Asoro, the member representing Orhionwon II Constituency.
Information on Mr Idiaye’s impeachment was emailed by the Edo State Government House to PREMIUM TIMES, Wednesday.
The Speaker of assembly, Frank Okiye, said Mr Idiaye was removed because he was planning with the leaders of the APC, including the governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodinma, to “violently take over” the assembly, according to a report by the Punch newspaper.
