Edo state impeach house assemblys speaker

You're referring to the recent development in Edo State, Nigeria.

Yes, it's true that the Edo State House of Assembly has impeached its Speaker, Frank Okiye, on November 24, 2020. The impeachment was carried out by a majority of the members of the Assembly, who voted in favor of the motion to remove Okiye from office.

The reasons for the impeachment are not entirely clear, but it's been reported that Okiye was accused of misconduct, including alleged abuse of office and financial impropriety. The Assembly also accused him of refusing to reconvene the House after a prolonged recess, which led to a stalemate in the legislative process.

The impeachment process was initiated by a group of lawmakers who claimed that Okiye had lost the confidence of the majority of the members. The Assembly then set up an ad-hoc committee to investigate the allegations against Okiye, which ultimately recommended his removal from office.

After the impeachment, the Deputy Speaker of the Assembly, Marcus Onobun, was sworn in as the new Speaker of the Edo State House of Assembly.
