There was tension at the premises of the Edo State House of Assembly Monday over alleged plot to impeach Speaker Victor Edoror.

Workers at the assembly spoke in low tunes about her possible impeachment while sympathizers of the speaker stayed around his office.

The lawmakers did not sit till about 5pm and held plenary for about 10 minutes because of executive session of the lawmakers which lasted over four hours.

Sources said some lawmakers were peeved following discovery that council chairmen in the 18 local government paid N2m each to the Speaker for the renovation of the lawmakers’ quarters.

Another source said the council chairmen have been paying N1.3m each to the lawmakers for the past six months.
