The Edo House of Assembly, on Monday, rejected the purported resignation of former Speaker, Blessing Agbebaku.
The House, instead, converted the resignation to impeachment during plenary session in Benin.
Moving the motion for Agbebaku’s impeachment, the Majority Leader, Sunday Ojezele, said the alleged resignation letter was not received by the House.
Ojezele, who represents Esan South-East, said that the verbal resignation process “was unknown to parliamentary practices and did not conform with parliamentary procedures”.
