Sacked Edo Assembly Speaker, Agbebaku returns to his farm

Sacked Edo Assembly Speaker Blessing Agbebaku returns to his farm as he was sighted planting yams.

Former Edo State House of Assembly Speaker, Blessing Agbebaku, has been spotted planting yams on his farm days after his removal from office.

Reacting to the development, Comr. Amos Ehinomen Uagbor said: “My happiness is that the former Speaker is not a lazy man. He will now have full concentration to plant more yams.”

Agbebaku stepped down on Monday amid moves by some lawmakers to impeach him.

His resignation was confirmed on Facebook by his media aide, Ivy Ebojele, who said further details on the circumstances surrounding his exit would be made public later.

A member representing Akoko-Edo Constituency I, Yekini Idiaye, has emerged as the new Speaker of the Edo State House of Assembly.
