The leaders of the Edo parliament were impeached for some
alleged misconduct.

Mrs Elizabeth Ative has been elected as the Speaker following
Edoror’s removal.

Following the impeachment of the House leaders, over
hundred hoodlums invaded the hallowed chamber of the
Assembly, wielding guns and other dangerous weapons.

Six people sustained varying degrees of gunshot injuries as the
hoodlums shot sporadically to scare people out of the
chamber.

A Naij.com correspondent reports that Trouble started when
the Majority Leader, Hon Folly Ogedegbe (Owan West
Constituency), moved a motion for impeachment of the
Speaker, Hon Victor Edoror and the Deputy Speaker, Hon
Bright Osayande.


The motion reads: “We the underlisted and undersigned
Honourable Members representing the various Constituencies
in the Edo State House of Assembly, have on this day 3rd of
May 2016 have resolved to impeach our Speaker, Hon Chief
Victor Edoror Tiger and the Deputy Speaker, Hon Osayande, for
acts of gross misconduct.”


According to the source, the motion was seconded by Hon
Gani Audu (Etsako West I). At the end of a brief proceeding
presided over by Speaker ex-tempo Hon Patrick Iluobe, the
only female member of the House, Hon (Mrs) Elizabeth Ativie,
(Uhumwode), was elected Speaker while Hon. (Dr) Joseph
Okonoboh (Igueben Constituency), was elected Deputy
Speaker.

Following the election of the new leadership of the House, the
impeached Speaker and his Deputy walked into the chamber in
company of the suspected hoodlums who shot sporadically to
scare people out and in the process, about six persons
sustained various degrees of gunshot injuries.

In her acceptance speech, the new Speaker, Hon (Mrs) Ativie,
said the members can no longer tolerate the greedy nature of
the former Speaker.


She said the impeached Speaker has up to six different
financial cases with the EFCC and that the members can no
longer continue to allow such indecent person to lead the
House.


The Speaker disclosed that a five-member Committee to be
headed by Hon. Kabiru Adjoto (Akoko-Edo Constituency I), will
investigate the financial recklessness of the impeached Speaker
from June 2015 to May 3, 2016, adding that if found wanting
at the end of the three months when the Committee will submit
its report, he will be handed over to appropriate authority for
prosecution.


Also speaking, Hon. Adjoto Kabiru, said: “The impeached
Speaker is violently corrupt who have flair for eating
government money just the way the red mouth squirrel has
mouth for palm kernel as it is eating one, it is looking at
another one that is how Edoror is.

“As it is today, Edoror has a lot of EFCC cases hanging on his
neck. You media men can go and verify this. Edo Assembly
cannot afford to have a Speaker that is being investigated by
the EFCC because of his corrupt nature.


“As earlier mentioned by our new Speaker, Edoror has a
corrupt tendency that cannot be mentioned. Enough is enough,
that is why 16 members of the House today signed
impeachment notice against him. As we speak today, both APC
and PDP members in the House signed impeachment notice
against him,” Adjooto said.

Sixteen members signed the impeachment notice circulated to
journalists immediately after the House proceedings while
seven declined.

If u like increase minimum wage to 500,000 and make everything free in Edo state, APC must go come next few months.

Oshiomole has destroyed this state. Imagine even his former hitman Adjoto Kabiru had deserted him. What a pity.

16 out of 24 are against you and you think you can champion with just 8.

This one has bear me witness of all what i have be saying. APC must go in Edo.
