In this breaking news report, we delve into the dramatic political showdown in Edo State. The 18 suspended local government chairmen have boldly declared that they cannot be removed from office, defying the Edo State House of Assembly's decision to suspend them for two months. The suspension came after a petition from Governor Monday Okpebholo, accusing the chairmen of misconduct, including failing to submit their financial statements.
Led by Newman Ugiagbe, the chairmen argue that their suspension is unconstitutional and a violation of court orders, as their tenure runs until 2025. With tensions rising, this political drama is far from over. Will the courts side with the chairmen or allow the suspension to stand? Stay tuned for updates on this ongoing battle for local governance in Edo State!
