Blessing Agbebaku resigned as Speaker of the Edo State House of Assembly following reports that a majority of members were seeking his removal. The resignation was announced during a plenary session, preempting a potential impeachment vote. Eighteen of Agbebaku’s colleagues were reportedly supporting efforts to oust him from the position. Following the resignation, Hon. Yekini Idaiye, representing Akoko-Edo I Constituency, was elected as the new Speaker. The reasons behind the move for Agbebaku's removal remain unclear, but the change in leadership signals internal political dynamics within the assembly. This transition marks a significant shift in the leadership structure of the Edo State legislature.
