Members of the Edo state House of Assembly on Wednesday suspended the former speaker of the House, Victor Edoror (APC) representing Esan Central constituency for three months.
BusinessDay reports that the former speaker was suspended over alleged failure to appear before ad-hoc committee set up by the house to investigate the alleged financial impropriety leveled against him while in office as speaker.
Recall that Edoror was May 3, 2016 impeached by the members of the house over alleged financial recklessness, high-handedness, dictatorial tendencies among other.
At the impeachment the embattled former speaker was suspended but the suspension was however lifted at plenary session on May 09, 2016 by the then new speaker of the House, Elizabeth Aitive.
At a plenary session yesterday, the speaker of the House, Justine Okonoboh announced the suspension of the former speaker.
Okonoboh said the suspension was sequel to recommendation of the ad-hoc committee report on the allegations of financial impropriety leveled against the former speaker that he failed to appear before it to defend himself against the allegations.
The speaker also announced the dissolution of the house standing committees.
