Edo House of Assembly has announced the recall of the two remaining suspended lawmakers, Donald Okogbe and Adeh Isibor, after five months.

The assembly had, on May 6, suspended Donald Okogbe (PDP-Akoko-Edo II), Adeh Isibor (APC-Esan North-East I) and Bright Iyamu (Orhionmwon South) over an alleged plot to impeach the Speaker and other principal officers.

However, Bright Iyamu was later recalled in June after being found remorseful, according to the Speaker, Blessing Agbebaku.

Agbebaku, at the resumption of plenary in Benin on Wednesday, announced that the assembly had agreed to recall the two remaining lawmakers from suspension.

He congratulated the state governor-elect, Monday Okpebholo, on his victory at the just-concluded governorship election.

The speaker, who noted that the governor-elect was for all Edo people, and not just the All Progressives Congress (APC), expressed the hope that sycophants would not mislead him.

While welcoming members back from a very long recess, Agbebaku thanked the lawmakers for diligently carrying out their duties to ensure passage of impactful bills and resolutions.

Also during plenary, the assembly approved a 57-sitting day calendar for the second quarter of its second session. (NAN)
