A coalition of civil society organisations, Development Alliance Platform (DAP), yesterday expressed concern over the stalemate in the Edo State House of Assembly, saying the crisis has created apprehension and heightened tension in the state.
Addressing journalists in Benin, convener of DAP, Austin Osakue, said the lawmakers had abandoned their constitutional duties of lawmaking and oversights in their pursuit of partisan political interests.
“The recruitment of idle youths to perpetrate violence impeded free movement and brought economic activity to a halt. The situation can escalate into full-scale violence if an amicable resolution is not urgently secured,” Osakue said, adding that the group would intervene in the crisis with a view to resolving it.
