Benin City, Edo state – Hon. Natasha Osawaru Irobosa, representing Egor Constituency, has been removed as minority leader in the Edo State House of Assembly.
Osawaru of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) was removed alongside Charity Aiguobarueghian, Majority Leader.
As reported by Daily Trust, Hon. Blessing Agbebaku and Maria Edeko still retained their positions as the Speaker and the Deputy Speaker, respectively.
Another PDP lawmaker, Hon Yekini Idaiye, was removed as Chief Whip of the house.
The principal positions were replaced with Hon Ibhamawu Jonathan Aigbokhan (APC) Esan West as Majority Leader, Hon Addeh Emakhu Isibor (APC) Esan North-East I, and Hon Lecky Hussein Mustapha (APC) Etsako West I as Majority Leader, Deputy Leader, and Chief Whip, respectively.
This became possible following the emergence of the All Progressives Congress as the majority party in the House.
The APC currently holds 13 seats after four lawmakers defected from the Peoples Democratic Party and the Labour Party, reducing the PDP’s seats to 11.
It was gathered that the APC had notified the Edo Assembly of its new majority status and indicated that changes in the House leadership would be announced in due course.
The Speaker of the House, Blessing Agbebaku, read a letter from the APC leadership nominating new principal officers during the plenary session on Monday, April 7, 2025.
Speaker Agbebaku disclosed that the PDP would also submit its list of principal officers.
Agbebaku said the majority and minority positions should not distract the House from its collective responsibility to serve Edo state.
