Amidst the ongoing crisis, Iyamu reaffirmed his commitment to preserving the sanctity of the house and maintaining the peaceful atmosphere within.
Responding to his suspension by Speaker Agbebaku, Iyamu asserted, “I had no motive to call for the impeachment of the Speaker, nor did I intend to undermine the integrity of the house.” His primary focus remains on representing his constituency effectively and enacting laws beneficial to the people of Edo State.
Furthermore, Iyamu expressed unwavering support for Governor Godwin Obaseki’s commendable efforts in revitalizing the state. Despite the recent upheavals, he remains resolute in his dedication to advancing Obaseki’s vision of Making Edo Great Again (MEGA), dismissing distractions aimed at derailing his focus.
