Edo Assembly: Senate orders Obaseki to issue fresh proclamation

Senate on Tuesday ordered the governor of Edo state Godwin Obaseki to issue a fresh proclamation for the inauguration of the state house of assembly.

Obaseki on Tuesday said that he would not issue a fresh proclamation letter for the inauguration of the 7th Edo state house of assembly.

He stated that the Nigerian constitution 1999 as amended, mandated state governors to issue proclamation only once for the inauguration of their houses of assembly and he has dutifully performed the function.

However, the senate has resolved to take over the functions of Edo state house of assembly within a week if Obaseki fails to obey its order.
