The lawmaker representing Esan Central, Hon. Victor Edoror, has emerged the factional Speaker of the Edo State House of Assembly despite police barricading the Assembly complex.
According to reports, Edoror became speaker following the inauguration of 14 state lawmakers loyal to a former labour leader and former governor of the state, Adams Oshiomole.
The Gazelle New.com reports that as of Thursday morning, 17 lawmakers had pledged their allegiance to Oshiomhole, leaving just four with the Governor, Godwin Obaseki.
