Some Edo State residents Thursday carried out what they termed
solidarity protest at the Oba Ovboramwen king square in Benin over the
House of Representatives call on Governor Godwin Obaseki to issue a
fresh proclamation of the state’s House of Assembly or risk its take
over by the Federal House.
We reports that the protesters are now saying that the House
of Reps does not have the power to give such order, arguing that there
is already an existing interlocutory injunction from the Federal High
Court sitting in Benin, which barred the Inspector-General of Police,
the Department of State Services, DSS, APC NWC or their agents from
disrupting Edo Assembly’s proceedings.
The House of Representatives yesterday asked the Governor of Edo
State, Godwin Obaseki, to issue a fresh proclamation to convene the 9th
House of Assembly in Edo State. It issued a seven-day ultimatum to the governor to carry out the order or risk the House taking over the Assembly.
