The new speaker of Edo state House of
Assembly and member, representing Uhunmwode constituency Mrs. Elizabeth
Ativie, has been sworn in.
She was sworn in on Monday by the Clerk
of the House, Mr. Lawson Ugiagbe in the presence of other members of the
Assembly, including the former Speaker, Mr. Victor Edoror.
Meanwhile, in an interview with
journalists, the impeached speaker, Victor Edoror, said he had accepted
the decision of the party to maintain the current leadership of House.
As this was going on, the premises of
the assembly complex was cordoned off by a combined team of security
operatives from the Nigeria Police Force, Department of State Security
and the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps to forestall a
possible break down of law and order.
More than 10 Hilux patrol vehicles and an armoured personnel carrier were strategically positioned around the complex.
