The Edo State House of Assembly has dragged the National Assembly before the Federal High Court, Abuja, over its resolutions ordering a fresh inauguration or threatening assumption of the state legislature’s functions.

Speaker, FRANK OKIYE, filed the originating summons and a motion on notice for an interlocutory injunction before Justice NKEONYE MAHA.

The Senate and House of Representatives had both ordered GODWIN OBASEKI, Governor of Edo State, to issue a fresh proclamation inaugurating the Edo Assembly within seven days or risk the assembly’s duties been taken over by the National Assembly.
