immediate past Speaker of the Edo State House of Assembly, Blessing Agbebaku, has kicked against his impeachment, insisting that he voluntarily resigned from the position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Agbebaku said his resignation letter, dated August 17, was personally handed to Majority Leader Sunny Ojiezele before he addressed the House on the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lawmakers had, during plenary on Monday, converted the resignation into an impeachment, with the Majority Leader alleging it did not follow due parliamentary procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Agbebaku maintained there is documentary and video evidence of his resignation, describing the impeachment as an inaccurate rewriting of events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said he remains a duly elected member representing Owan West Constituency and committed to the All Progressives Congress.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The immediate past Speaker of the Edo State House of Assembly, Blessing Agbebaku, has kicked against his impeachment, insisting that
