Owan West APC suspends councillors, supports Obaseki

The legislative arm of the Owan West Local Government Area in Edo State, has suspended two councillors for breaching “certain aspects of the legislative rules and proceedings. ”
The House denied that the two councillors were suspended because they were not in support of Obaseki ’ s second term .
The councillors, Samuel Ohimai of Ward Three and Kelvin Omo Esemuze of Ward Six, were suspended indefinitely without pay at Tuesday ’ s plenary.
The motion for their suspension was moved by the Chief Whip , Monday Ifidon .
Leader of the House , Augustine Ohiolere , said, “The councillors breached Order 4 Rules 2 and 3 of the local government laws, not because they were not in support of Governor Godwin Obaseki ’ s second term . ”
