The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the upcoming Edo State governorship election, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, has debunked reports that the impeachment of the former Speaker of the state’s House of Assembly, Francis Okiye, was conducted in his house.

Addressing the question of illegality at the State House of Assembly and impeachment of Hon Okiye conducted in his house, Ize-Iyamu said there was no time lawmakers used his house to conduct the meeting. “One day, the purported speaker woke up and said he had declared their seats vacant, but even they themselves never believed it. I will tell you that a week before the governor left the party, he held a meeting with the 14 people that he said are no longer members of the House, inviting them as members elect and asking for a truce so that they can come back.“So the reality is that, we all know that declaring their seats vacant was not valid.

“So that will tell you that, all what they were trying to do was to truncate legislative arm and stop them from sitting. So if anyone was doing a coup, they were the ones doing a coup against the legislative arm of government yesterday. And we are happy that our people have risen to it”, he explained.

“We wrote petitions to the commissioner of police, the Director DSS and they will attest to the fact that on a regular basis they are destroying our Billboards. They are the ones that want to make the state ungovernable and I am sure you heard the governor say that himself and his deputy have immunity and so they can deal with anybody.
