BREAKING: Edo Speaker Quits as Impeachment Knives Come Out
Edo State House of Assembly Speaker, Blessing Agbebaku, has jumped before he was pushed—resigning Monday as impeachment heat turned up the burner under his seat.
The surprise exit throws the legislature into fresh chaos, with lawmakers now scrambling to pick a new leader. His media aide, Ivy Adodo-Ebojele, broke the news on Facebook with a blunt post: “EDO ASSEMBLY SPEAKER RT HON CHIEF BLESSING AGBEBAKU RESIGNS.” No reasons given—yet.
But insiders whisper that a plot to oust him had been brewing, though the exact grievances remain under wraps. For now, all eyes are on the Assembly chamber as the race for Agbebaku’s replacement kicks off, promising more political fireworks in the days ahead.
