Justin Okonoboh, speaker
of the Edo State House of Assembly, has been impeached by the legislators.
Kabiru Adjoto and Victor
Edoro were immediately appointed as new speaker and deputy speaker
respectively.
Edoro was also removed as
the speaker of the same house in May 2016.
Okonoboh, an All
Progressives Congress (APC) from Igueben constituency, became speaker after
Elizabeth Ativie stepped down.
He had assured his
colleagues that he would operate an all-inclusive administration and retain all
appointments made by the former Ativie.
After escaping an
impeachment in 2016, Okonoboh said disagreements are normal but “minorities
will have their way, while majority will have their say”.
“We are renovating our
chambers, our generators and public address system. What you call division is
not a serious one, as there is no house in the world where there is no
division,” he said.
“In a gathering of 24
member house, we cannot think or reason the same way. But what we do is to
struggle to present a common front before the people of Edo state. In the
house, minorities will have their say but the majority will have their way.
What is being experienced is normal issues in the house.”
“In the house, minorities
