The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Edo State has applauded the ruling of a high court sitting in Benin City, which granted the application to reinstate the chairmen and vice chairmen of the 18 local government areas, who the party said “were illegally and unconstitutionally suspended by the Edo State House of Assembly at the behest of the Governor, Monday Okpebholo.”
In a statement signed by Dr Tony Aziegbemi, the Chairman of the party, he said, “The court in the ruling also directed the defendants, including the Edo State Government, the Governor, and the Attorney General, among others, not to give effect to the House of Assembly resolution purportedly suspending the 18 council chairmen.”
