Resignation of six AIADMK MLAs rock Tamil Nadu Assembly
The issue was raised by DMK MLA S. Austin, who complained that the voice of the people in the six constituencies had been crippled and there was no one to represent their views.
The Edo State House of Assembly has converted the resignation of its former Speaker, Blessing Agbebaku, to an impeachment. According to the Daily Post Nigeria, Agbebaku had resigned on August 17, 2026, but was subsequently suspended indefinitely by the House.
The House also removed two other principal officers from their positions, with Jonathan Ibhamawu sacked as Majority Leader and Addeh Emankhu Isibor removed as Deputy Majority Leader. They were replaced by Ojiezele Osezua Sunday and Inegbeboh Ojie Eugene, respectively.
The impeachment was formally presented by the Majority Leader, with the new Speaker, Yekini Idaiye, stating that the impeachment notice was signed by 17 members of the House, as reported by the Daily Post Nigeria. The Majority Leader, who moved the motion for impeachment, told Premium Times that Agbebaku's verbal resignation was "unknown to parliamentary practices and did not conform to parliamentary procedures".
