The Speaker, Mr Frank Okiye, alleged that Uzodinma was working with some Edo State APC members and the former Deputy Speaker, Mr Yekini Idiaye, to destabilise the assembly.
In response, the Imo State Commissioner for Special Projects, Mr Simon Ebegbulem, said, “The illegal Speaker and his governor are not making sense to me with this baseless allegation. I don’t even know what they are talking about because there is no House of Assembly in Edo State.”Idiaye’s impeachment was sequel to a motion moved by the member representing Ikpoba-Okha constituency, Mr Henry Okhuarobo, and seconded by Mr Marcus Onobun, of the Esan-West constituency.
Also, during plenary, the former Chief Whip of the House, Mr. Henry Okhuarobo, was elevated to the position of the Leader, while his erstwhile deputy, Mr Marcus Onobun, was elevated to the position of Chief Whip.Meanwhile, Idiaye, denied allegations by the deputy governor, Mr Phillip Shaibu. that he collected N40m from a former National Chairman of the APC, Adams Oshiomhole, to support the party’s candidate in the September 19 election, Mr Osagie Ize-Iyamu.
