Blessing Agbebaku, the former Speaker of the Edo State House of Assembly, has revealed that his resignation was motivated by personal reasons. The new Speaker, Yekini Idiaye, claims Agbebaku was dismissed due to poor leadership and corruption. However, Agbebaku's spokesperson denied these allegations in a statement on Monday, asserting that he enjoyed a harmonious working relationship with all 24 members of the House during his three-year tenure.
According to Agbebaku, they all had distinct identities and beliefs, yet managed to pass people-focused legislation and resolutions. The decision to resign was made with the aim of maintaining peace, advancing the state's interests, and serving his own constituency, which comprises Owan West. Agbebaku expressed gratitude to Governor Monday Okpebholo for his support and cooperation throughout his time in office.
