Two members of the 15 protesting lawmakers of the Edo state House of Assembly have dumped the All Progressives Congress (APC) national chairman, Comrades Adams Oshiomhole and have aligned with Governor Godwin Obaseki.

The decision of the duo who made the lawmakers to temporarily suspend their long adjournment to admit new members-elect for inauguration Monday.

Two lawmakers-elect, who presented themselves for inauguration before Speaker Frank Okiye for swearing-in, were are Hon Emmanuel Okoduwa (Esan North East II) and Hon Sunny Ojiezele (Esan South East).

The lawmakers had adjourned sitting to July 17 shortly after the house was inaugurated and the speaker and deputy speaker elected, alas under what some have described as controversial circumstances.

A total of 15 lawmakers-elect, who are believed to be having the backing of the APC national chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, were absent at the inauguration on the guise that they were not informed about the event.

Speaker Okiye urged the two lawmakers to be good ambassadors of their constituencies and congratulated them for completing their documentation.

“We cut short our break because some members have concluded their documentation. This was done to show to the world that nobody is being shut out.

“Nobody was shut out. Anybody or group that complete his documentation in line with extant rules will be sworn-in.

On threat by speaker of the Lagos state House of Assembly and chairman of the Conference of Speakers of State Legislature, Mudashiru Obasanjo, that he would not be admitted into the conference unless a proper inauguration is down, Okiye said, “I did not hear from him but I will just laugh. I laugh.”
