A factional Speaker in the Edo State House of Assembly, Mr. Victor Edoror, who is pro-Adams Oshiomhole, was purportedly elected to the position at an undisclosed location in Benin City during an emergency plenary session attended by 17 elected members recently. He tells ADEYINKA OLASENI
As the new Speaker of the Edo State House of Assembly, my members will sit anywhere we deem fit after due consultation. While I agree that the House is under repair, the complex remains the best place for us to sit and deliberate, but we have resolved that Governor Godwin Obaseki should leave the House for us because he has no right to be renovating the complex as we did not solicit for that. It is our property and we are not under his appendage. We are a highly autonomous organ of government.
We have the numbers and if we have the time as permitted by the constitution, we can achieve that, but we don’t have that in mind. We are not out for Governor Godwin Obaseki or his deputy, Philip Shaibu. We are not being sponsored by anybody and this is not a witch-hunt. What we have been fighting for is for the constituencies making up the state to be duly represented in the House. The constitution said that 24 lawmakers must be represented in the House for it to be able to sit.
