Governor Obaseki storms Edo Assembly amidst pandemonium

Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo state on Thursday stormed the state house of assembly, with hundreds of supporters.

Also with Obaseki was his deputy, Philip Shaibu and other top government officials.

The supporters who sang solidarity songs, were also armed with placards bearing inscriptions such as “Edo is not Lagos’’.

It was gathered that the presence of the governor was to show solidarity to the few lawmakers who are loyal to him, following siege laid on the assembly by police operatives.

Addressing the crowd, Obaseki assured the people of adequate protection.
