The Edo State House of Assembly has impeached Deputy speaker Yekini Idiaye, few days after he declared support for the Governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Osagie Ize-Iyamu.
Idiaye was impeached on Wednesday at the plenary session of the House in Benin city.
It will be recalled that Idiaye, who is the lawmaker representing Akoko-Edo Constituency I, and four other members of the Assembly had on Monday pledged their allegiance to Ize-Iyamu.
The four other members who joined Idiaye in declaring support for Ize-Iyamu are Emmanuel Agbaje, Akoko-Edo Constituency II; Nosayaba Okunbor, Orhiomwon East Constituency; Dumez Ugiagbe, Member-elect, Ovia North East Constituency I; and Vincent Uwadiae, Member-elect, Ovia North East Constituency II.
It was also gathered that the House elected the member representing Orhionmwon II Constituency, Roland Asoro, to replace Idiaye as Deputy Speaker.
