The Speaker said the Assembly declared the seat of the 14 members-elect vacant on December 19, 2019.
The Speaker of the Edo State House of Assembly, Francis Okiye, says the 14 members-elect not yet inaugurated, no longer have seats to occupy in the assembly, following the declaration of their seats as vacant.
“The Governor, following the provisions of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, issued a proclamation for the first session of the assembly on June 14, 2019,” Mr Okiye said. The speaker further said after several sittings by the house since June 17, 2019, Uyi Ekhosuehi and Eric Okaka deliberately stayed away from the sittings of the assembly.
“The court restrained the governor from issuing another proclamation and ruled that the house was constitutionally constituted to carry out its duties.
