Speaker, Bayelsa State House of
Assembly, Rt. Hon. Konbowei Friday
Benson has denied stepping down, insisting ‘I’m still in charge’ reports
ITRealms.
Hon. Benson on Thursday in Yenagoa
dismissed reports that he had since stepped down following the judgment of
the Appeal Court in Port Harcourt, insisting that he remains the Speaker
of the Assembly and member representing Southern Ijaw Constituency 4.
He also said sufficient proofs exist
that the judgement for that day was delivered in his favour.
The lawmaker stated that there was
no enrolment order from the court asking him to vacate his seat or for reason
of a different thing that was said in the court as has happened, neither was
there an order that he should meet the Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC) for a different date of election.
"INEC has not informed me of
any notice of enrolment or whatever that they have also received. There is
nothing," he said.
Benson described the alleged
judgment against him as just a purported claim by a party with the intention to
cause confusion.
