The member representing Owan West Constituency in the 8th Edo House of Assembly, Hon. Blessing Agbebaku, has emerged unopposed as Speaker of the Edo House of Assembly.
The House also produced Hon. Maria Edekor representing Esan North-East Constituency II as Deputy Speaker.
The inauguration and election of both presiding officers were shorn of the drama that characterised a similar exercise four years ago when the State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, deployed brazen subterfuge and outright gangsterism to shut out 14 out of the 24-member House just to be able to install his favoured House leadership.
