The ruling Peoples Democratic Party and opposition All Progressives Congress are locked in a supremacy battle in the Edo State House of Assembly.
Thursday was a sad day in Edo. The parliament, which is the representative organ and the anchor of popular rule, was in pains. There was a clash of strategies. The House became a casualty of the preparations for the titanic governorship. Peace is not likely to return to the hallowed chamber until the poll is over.
The pro-Oshiomhole lawmakers raised a serious objection. But, the House became a no-go area for security reasons. The excluded lawmakers cried out that their constituencies were denied representation. They mounted pressure on the governor to issue a new proclamation. The governor did not oblige them. He said it as illegal.As tension engulfed the House, the National Assembly tried to intervene.
From last month when the governor defected to the PDP, the plot to take the House of Assembly from his armpit had thickened.
