Edo Assembly Reinstates Suspended Members After Five Months

The Edo State House of Assembly has announced the reinstatement of two suspended legislators, Donald Okogbe and Adeh Isibor, after a five-month suspension.

The assembly had initially suspended the lawmakers on May 6 over allegations of conspiring to impeach the House Speaker and other key officials.

Speaker Blessing Agbebaku revealed during the resumption of plenary in Benin that the assembly had reached a consensus to lift the suspension of the two remaining lawmakers.

He also congratulated the state governor-elect, Monday Okpebholo, on his recent victory in the governorship election, emphasizing that he represents all citizens of Edo, not just the APC.

In addition, while welcoming members back from an extended recess, Agbebaku expressed gratitude to the lawmakers for their commitment to passing significant bills and resolutions.

During the plenary session, the assembly also approved a calendar of 57 sitting days for the second quarter of its second session.
