The Edo state assembly remains divided as members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and those of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have refused to sit with each other at plenary.
However, although the police have refused to open the doors of the assembly for the fifteen APC members who are in the majority to use, the police have allowed the nine PDP members to meet in the assembly complex.
When APC members met last week to impeach the deputy speaker, the sitting was held at the Pld Exco Chambers of the Government House. They met there again on Monday. PDP lawmakers however got into the assembly under the watchful eyes of more than 150 anti-riot policemen stationed at the assembly by the state Police Command.
The PDP lawmakers who arrived at he assembly at about 7am passed several resolutions, including the freezing of the State House of Assembly’s account as well as directing all commercial banks and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to stop forthwith any transaction with APC lawmakers.
