The Edo State House of Assembly has declared the reinstatement of the two suspended legislators, Donald Okogbe and Adeh Isibor, following five months of suspension.
Naija News recalls that the assembly initially suspended Donald Okogbe (PDP-Akoko-Edo II), Adeh Isibor (APC-Esan North-East I), and Bright Iyamu (Orhionmwon South) on May 6 due to an alleged conspiracy to impeach the House of Assembly Speaker and other key officials.
Subsequently, Bright Iyamu was reinstated in June after demonstrating remorse, as stated by the Speaker, Blessing Agbebaku.
During the resumption of plenary in Benin on Wednesday, October 2, Agbebaku announced that the assembly had reached a consensus to reinstate the two remaining lawmakers from their suspension.
He congratulated the state governor-elect, Monday Okpebholo, on his recent victory in the governorship election.
The Speaker stressed that the governor-elect represents all citizens of Edo, not solely the All Progressives Congress (APC), and expressed hope that sycophants would not mislead him.
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.
