The Edo state House of Assembly announced that it received a notification from the All Progressives Congress (APC) about its new status as the majority party in the eighth assembly.

This was in a letter addressed to the house speaker, Blessing Agbebaku.

The speaker, Blessing Agbebaku, read the letter from the state office of the APC to lawmakers.

The letter read that the APC had attained majority status in the state house of assembly following the defection of four house members into the party.

The members that defected were Hon Bright Iyamu representing Orhionmwon South from the PDP, Hon Donald Okogbe representing Akoko-Edo II from the PDP, Hon Sunday Ojezele representing Esan South East from the PDP and Hon Osaro Edosa representing Oredo West from the Labour Party.

The letter also noted that the APC should notify the house at the appropriate time of the consequential effect of the present reality on the house.

The letter, titled “Notification of APC majority status in the Edo State House of Assembly,” begins, “I write to formally notify you that the APC has attained the Majority status in the Edo State House of Assembly following the defection of the following members from their respective parties to the APC.”

Agbebaku acknowledged the APC’s new majority status, stating, “Distinguished members, you just heard the letter sent to me from the APC in Edo State. So, going by this letter, it means APC now has a majority in the House.”

He also wished the defectors well: “I want to wish the decampees well, and I wish them good endeavours.”

He noted that he is awaiting another letter from the APC nominating its principal officers, adding, “Thank you very much. I am waiting for the letter from APC for their nominees.”

Recent developments have resulted in the APC having thirteen lawmakers, the PDP having eleven, and the LP having none.

Another development at the plenary was the presentation of the Report of the House Standing Committee on Commerce and Industry by its chairman, Lecky Hussein Mustapha, on a Bill for a law to Provide for Public-Private Partnerships, establish the Edo State Public Private Partnerships Agency, Enhance infrastructure and service development in Edo State.
