(Updated) Anti-Obaseki Lawmakers 'Impeach' Edo Speaker, Deputy
in what looked like a dangerous twist in the troubled Edo State House of Assembly, lawmakers opposed to Governor Godwin Obaseki Thursday ‘impeached’ Speaker of the State Assembly, Hon. Frank Okiye, and his Deputy, Roland Asoro.
12 out of the 14 members-elect who were not sworn last year took their oaths, administered by the Deputy Clerk of the Assembly, Mr Tom Efezokhae. The motion nominating Edoror was moved by Washington Osifo and seconded by Hon Eric Okaka, and in the absence of further nominations he was elected.
