Edo State House of Assembly Speaker, Blessing Agbebaku, has reportedly resigned from his position.
Agbebaku’s reported resignation comes at a politically sensitive time in Edo State and could further alter the political dynamics within the state legislature.
The lawmaker emerged as Speaker of the 8th Edo State House of Assembly in June 2023. He has since played a key role in several political developments within the Assembly, including the movement and realignment of lawmakers.
Agbebaku later defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2025.
His reported resignation is expected to spark discussions among lawmakers and political stakeholders over who will succeed him as Speaker.
The development also comes as political activities and realignments continue to intensify ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Details surrounding the resignation, including the reason for Agbebaku’s decision and the Assembly’s next steps, are expected to emerge as lawmakers respond to the development.
