Twelve(12) members of the Edo state house of Assembly loyal to the All Progressives Congress, APC have been sworn-in on Wednesday at an undisclosed location in Edo state, according to TVC news.
It will be recalled that the Governor of the State, Godwin Obaseki ordered a ‘renovation’ of the Edo state house of assembly on Wednesday afternoon in order to quell an alleged plot to impeach him.
For several months now, Obaseki has actively worked to prevent the inauguration of the lawmakers in order to maintain ‘control’ over the assembly.
Following a fallout with his predecessor, Adams Oshiomole, Obaseki ensured that the lawmakers were not inaugurated in order to prevent Oshiomhole’s loyalists from taking control of the state legislature.

UPDATE
14 lawmakers have been sworn in bringing the total number of APC lawmakers in the house to 17.
Can members elect whose seats were declared vacant and are in court be suddenly sworn in?
Men who are bent on destroying what is left of this country.selfish and cold hearted.Do impeaching the Governor bring development.Does it put food on our table.Evil merchants called politicians.Oshomole you have learnt negative traits from your master the jaban of Lagos who had become the Lord of the Manor in Lagos state.shame on you and your footsoldiers.However ,some day you will all pass away and the earth will remain.
Congratulations. Edo must make progress InshaAllah.
I feel for Obesieke, he is good but don’t know how to play politics, he ought to have used his position as the governor to woo these APC oshomole loyalist before now. His days are numbered.
Great One.
Interesting, Nigerian politics
INTERESTING POLITICS PLAYING OUT IN EDO ASSEMBLY.
Majority owns the house.
And the battle of the fittest continues, we are just entering another interesting episode of many episodes that would end at various Courts and even the Supreme Court.
It’s illegal to swear in members of a state house of assembly in a secret location. So the swearing in illegal and can never be accepted.
This country is doomed,bet me you, Obaseki is gone,but Edo people are not Lagosian,I see blood flow and flow in Edo,Oh Edo your end has come,
Osho hear me and mark my word if you continue in this way,sorrow,regrets and pain awaits you,my only regret is your family who have no hand in what you are doing,but will suffer your actions even more than yourself,may God help,Amen
Shame on you APC political robbers
