Edo Political activist condemns ‘forced resignation’ of Assembly Speaker

A political activist from Edo State, Gordie Aigbodion, criticized the resignation of Blessing Agbebaku, the former Speaker of the Edo State House of Assembly, which occurred after he avoided impeachment.

He argued that this action marginalized the Owan region, despite its contributions to the state's development. Aigbodion urged the governor and executive authorities to respect Owan voters' influence and called for unity among traditional and political leaders to oppose the perceived marginalization.
