In his address, Speaker Victor Edoror said the 7th Assembly would focus on its legislative duties, and not pursue the impeachment of any member of the Executive.
He called for unity and togetherness, stating that there was no victor, no vanquished.
Speaker Edoror also directed the Edo Commissioner of Police, the Inspector General of Police and other security agencies to eject the thugs who had invaded the Assembly Complex in Benin to allow for a rancor free plenary on Friday, August 7.
