The Edo State chapter of the
Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) has described the controversial impeachment
saga that played out in the state House of Assembly as a mockery of democracy
and the legislative procedure.
Recall that we had earlier
reported that erstwhile Speaker, Justin Okonoboh, was removed from office and
suspended by 19 state legislators during plenary on Monday.
However, addressing the media in
Benin City, the Publicity Secretary of the PDP in the state, Chris Nehikhare
said the action of the lawmakers left much to be desired and should be
condemned by well-meaning people of Edo State.
“The Edo State House of Assembly
and the Edo State APC government have a knack for changing the decisions of the
House of Assembly.
“You will recall that the last
time there was a change for a jeep, for an SUV the Speaker relinquished her
position even though she was chosen by majority of the members of the Edo state
House of Assembly.
“What we have witnessed again
today, we suspect is somebody who wants a Jeep. I do not think this impeachment
will stand the test of time,” he said.
Meanwhile, the lawmakers have
elected a member of the House, Kabiru Adjoto, as the new Speaker.
