17 Edo Lawmakers Claim To Have Impeached Assembly Speaker by Kwanza(op): 4:28pm On Aug 06, 2020

Seventeen lawmakers of the Edo State House of Assembly, including 14 members whose seats have been previously declared vacant, claim that they have impeached the Speaker of the House, Francis Okiye, and his deputy, Roland Asoro.

The decision was taken at a private location in the state capital, hours after security officials took over the State Assembly Complex and some men attacked the building, destroying parts of it.

At the meeting, the 14 lawmakers-elect were, first, sworn in and then, together with three other lawmakers who recently pledged their allegiance to Osagie Ize-Iyamu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) claimed to have impeached the Speaker and his deputy, Roland Asoro.

The Edo State House of Assembly has been embroiled in a crisis since 2019, one that has now been worsened by the buildup to the governorship elections in the state.

Twenty-four lawmakers were elected from the 24 constituencies during the 2019 general elections. However, only 10 of them were inaugurated on July 17 of the same year, sparking a controversy that included intervention from the National Assembly.

Five of the 10 lawmakers that were inaugurated including the Deputy Speaker, Yekini Idiaye, had declared support for Ize-Iyamu last week, after accusing Governor Obaseki of rendering the legislature in the state useless.

In retaliation, four of the five inaugurated lawmakers met on Wednesday and impeached Idiaye, replacing him with Asoro.

But the lawmakers loyal to Ize-Iyamu claimed to have impeached him and the Speaker, Okiye.

Under APC every election is awarded the worst.

With the progress made under 2015. One would have thought by now that little democratic change upgrade but far from the truth.

Verdict : So many APC members just want to cash out, the only sincere followers Ize Iyamu got are the thugs, the politicians are not fully with him, most are into anti party, Oshiomole is making things worse for him, cos everyone seem to be chating .. SAY NO TO GODFATHER... Forget media, Obaseki is winning if not rigged, na the Edo we dey na we dey see things.

A united youth is an unstoppable force

according to which law? The constitution is clear and thé law is settled on this. You cannot deprive any constituency representation in government. The only way you can remove a legislator is by recall from his/her constituency

Nigeria is now a banana republic.

In Edo, 7 is greater than 17. Obaseki claim to be fighting “godfatherism”, but what he is doing is even greater than what any sane thinking godfather will do. Obaseki could be referred to as a tyrant in power.

Buhari is just a soft president, I trust baba OBJ, he wouldn’t allow such rubbish to happen especially when the said governor is even now in the opposition.

Lastly, Edo is not Lagos like they always say. Besides the fact that Lagos is way above Edo league, there is also no issue of 7 greater than 17 in Lagos!

Obaseki is to be blame on the state assembly crisis. Why didn't he inaugurated the other 14 lawmakers in the first place?
