The Conference of Nigerian Speakers of State Legislatures in Nigeria and body of Majority Leaders of state assemblies across the country may have decided to wade into the crisis rocking the Edo State House of Assembly by moving against what they see as high-handedness and undue interference by Governor Godwin Obaseki.
Obasa, in a statement in Lagos, also said the removal of the roofs of the assembly on the orders of the governor was an injury to Nigeria’s democracy and must be condemned by all well-meaning Nigerians. “The Speakers’ conference is grossly dissatisfied with happenings in Edo,and this will be communicated to all those who should know,” a well placed source said.
“There were reports linking the removal of the roof and the offloading of gravel at the complex to purported plans by the government to renovate the Assembly, but we think this is an afterthought.”Its words: “Why is the government just realising the need renovate the complex at the twilight of the administration?
He said: “It is disheartening that the chairman of speakers in Nigeria, whose mandate is to among other things, defend democracy, its values and structures, such as the legislature, which he claims he represents, is trying to find justification for the coup that took place in Benin City by members of his party.”
