The Speaker of the Edo State House of Assembly, Blessing Agbebaku, has resigned from his position.
Agbebaku stepped down on Monday amid moves by some lawmakers to impeach him.
His media aide, Ivy Adodo-Ebojele, confirmed the resignation in a Facebook post.
She said further details on the circumstances surrounding his resignation would be made public later.
The development has triggered a fresh leadership crisis in the Edo State House of Assembly.
Lawmakers are expected to determine a new Speaker following Agbebaku’s resignation.
