The Edo State House of Assembly crisis took a
new twist on Monday morning when the Peoples
Democratic Party lawmakers in the Assembly
gained entry into the Anthony Enahoro Assembly
Complex and held a plenary.
The lawmakers, which included the impeached
Deputy Speaker, Festus Ebea, who acted as
Speaker, and three suspended members, sat in
front of the entrance to the chamber.
It was gathered that the lawmakers had converged
at the Assembly complex as early as 7am, with a
mace and a Sergeant at Arms, overheard
exclaiming, “Mr. Speaker” repeatedly as the
“House” rose.
Ebea, while briefing newsmen after the sitting of
the four members, said the lawmakers had
resolved that the renovation in the Assembly
Complex was illegal.
He said, “It did not go through due process. It did
not pass through my table, as the Chairman of the
Committee on Tenders Board.”
He also stated that the Speaker, Uyi Igbe, and
other principal officers of the House, whom they
had suspended, should be prevented from making
withdrawals from the Assembly’s account.
Ebea said the House had further asked Governor
Adams Oshiomhole to pay the outstanding
entitlements of the recalled teachers and
instructed the 18 local government chairmen to
forward their receipts of cash disbursements to
the House, to ascertain why “most of the local
governments failed to meet up with their financial
obligations”.
A heavy presence of security operatives was
noticed around the Assembly, causing traffic
gridlock on major roads around the building.

This is entirely Oshiomhole's fault by putting cronies as chairmen in the last local govt election. While PDP were winning everywhere, Oshiomhole was busy announcing different results in Benin.

These law makers were all APC but they had to listen to the voice of their people or become irrelevant. Check out the numbers of APC that has deserted Alhaji Aliyu Oshiomhole in the past two months.

The message to Oshiomhole is that Edo state are not prepared to be under a Nigerian Caliphate headed by Sultan Buhari.

Oshiomhole should "Go and Die".
