Alleged Impeachment Plot: Edo Speaker Suspends Three Lawmakers | Independent Newspaper Nigeria
Rt. Hon. Blessing Agbebaku, the Speaker, Edo House of Assembly, on Monday suspended three lawmakers over alleged plot to impeach him and other Principal officers council (POC)of the house.
The three suspended lawmakers are Mr Donald Okogbe ( PDP Akoko-Edo11) Bright Iyamu (PDP Orihonmwon South) and Adeh Isibor, (APC Esan North East 1)
At resumption of plenary in Benin on Monday, Agbebaku alleged that the three suspended members were being influenced by external forces to cause chaos and remove the leadership of the house.
He also alleged that some persons brought native doctors into the house at midnight on Wednesday, May 1, 2024 to make some demonic incantations and dropped charms in the assembly complex.
Responding during the rowdy session, the three suspended lawmakers were seen screaming “Mr speaker you do not have the right to unilaterally suspend any member (s) of the house.
“You must call for votes. Allow members to vote on the matter”, the victims shouted.
Meanwhile, the security operatives have been directed to prevent the suspended lawnmowers from entering the house as their suspension lasts.
