Steer clear of Edo Assembly, youths warn House of Representatives

A group, under the auspices of the Edo Youth Vanguard, has warned the House of Representatives and the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to either be impartial in its intervention in the contrived impasse in the state House of Assembly or incur the wrath of the youths.

In a statement in Benin, the state capital, by its president, Nosakhare Oseghale, the group questioned, especially the lower legislative arm’s ill-conceived directive, days back, that the governor, Godwin Obaseki, should issue a new proclamation to the Assembly for proper constitution.

The youth group said to make such order or any whatsoever on a state House of Assembly, there should be a joint resolution with the Senate and until then, any such directive is an exercise in illegality.
