The Deputy Speaker of the Edo State House of Assembly, Yekini Idiaye, has been “removed”.
Mr Yekini, who represents Akoko-Edo Constituency I, was removed during Wednesday’s plenary session.
The Assembly elected Roland Asoro as his replacement.
He is the member representing Orhionmwon II Constituency.
Recall that on Monday, Idiaye declared support for the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Osagie Ize-Iyamu.
Ize-Iyamu is the main challenger to Governor Godwin Obaseki.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has fixed September 19 for the poll.
