Edo assembly appoints Asoro as new deputy speaker

His election follows the impeachment of Yekini Idiaye as deputy speaker.

Idiaye, the lawmaker representing Akoko-Edo Constituency I, was impeached on Wednesday during a plenary session of the House of Assembly in Benin City, the Edo State capital.

His impeachment is coming barely three days after he pledged his support for the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Osagie Ize-iyamu.
