The Edo State House of Assembly has received two petitions concerning the ongoing crisis in Egor Local Government Council.

Super FM correspondent Charis Turner reports that the petitions were presented during plenary by the Clerk of the House, Yahaya Omogbai.

The petitions, submitted by one Clinton Osaretin and the Secretary of the Egor Local Government Council, Johnbull Igbinadolor, highlight concerns over strained relations between councilors in the legislative arm and the executive chairman. They also called for the Assembly’s intervention in the alleged suspension of Council Chairman Eghe Ogbemudia.

In response, Speaker Right Honourable Blessing Agbebaku directed the Local Government and Chieftaincy Committee to investigate the matter and submit a report within a week.

Meanwhile, the House is scheduled to deliberate on the implementation of a correctional center regulation law and the Electricity Law on Monday, December 9, 2024.
