Edo State
House of Assembly today impeached its suspended Deputy Speaker, Festus Ebea.
He was
replaced with Victor Sabo Tiger Edoror
of Esan Central Constituency.
Ebea, a
member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and three other lawmakers who
defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), were suspended by the 15-member
APC lawmakers weeks ago for “misconduct.”
The
impeachment motion that was moved by
Folly Ogedengbe of Owan East Constituency and seconded by Bamidele Olorotunba of Akoko Edo II Constituency
accused Ebea of forcefully breaking into the
chambers of the Assembly to take over the office of the Speaker, Hon.
Uyi Igbe, an offence they described as “gross misconduct.”
The 15
lawmakers sat at the old House of Assembly Complex situated inside the
Government House, owing to what it described as the renovation work currently
going on at the main Assembly Complex at Ring Road in Benin City.
