Just In: Women Leads Protest At Edo Assembly Over Okiye's Removal by MRLfoods: 3:34pm On Aug 07, 2020
Several protesters in the women’s wing of the Peoples Democratic Party on Friday embarked on a solidarity march to the Edo State House of Assembly in Benin City.

The women, who walked from the Government House along Osadebey Avenue to the Anthony Enahoro Complex, along Ring Road, said they were in solidarity with the embattled Speaker of the House, Mr Frank Okiye.

Okiye was reportedly impeached on Thursday by 17 out of the 24 lawmakers at a private residence in Benin, and in his stead, a new Speaker, Mr Victor Edoror, was elected.

A section of the women, who claimed to be spiritualists, laid curses at the Assembly gate.

They condemned the reported impeachment of Okiye by the 17 lawmakers.

Anytime I see 17 out of 24. I just imagine the level of incompetence of Obaseki. You can only manage to get 10 out of 24 to your side for inauguration as a sitting governor and in just one year, 3 has decamped include deputy speaker. Let be sincere.

Haha shocked, has he been removed ?
