The Speaker, Edo State House of Assembly, Blessing Agbebaku, yesterday, said that the House has no regret in impeaching the former Deputy

Governor, Philip Shaibu.

Recall that Philip Shaibu was impeached in April, following the adoption of the report of the seven-man investigative panel set up by the state Assembly to probe allegations of misconduct levelled against him.He said: “To me, I will stand tall to say it is a good record because we are doing our legislative duty.

Agbebaku, while also reacting to the question of the suspension of three lawmakers, said that whatever their constituencies are lacking due to their absence in the House is the price they needed to pay for their misbehaviour. “That is the price you pay when you go contrary to the House rules, but what I will say is that a committee is being set up to look into their issues.
