<p>The Edo State House of Assembly has removed Hon. <strong>Natasha Osawaru Irobosa</strong>, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the partner of Nigerian music legend 2Face Idibia, from her position as Minority Leader.</p>
<p>This decision comes as part of a leadership change in the Assembly, which saw the removal of other PDP leaders, including Hon. Charity Aiguobarueghian, the Majority Leader, and Hon. Yekini Idaiye, the Chief Whip.</p>

Natasha Osawaru.</figcaption></figure>
<p>However, despite these changes, PDP members Hon. Blessing Agbebaku and Maria Edeko, who serve as Speaker and Deputy Speaker, respectively, retained their <strong>positions</strong>.</p>
<p>The reshuffle followed a significant shift in the political balance of the Assembly after four PDP lawmakers defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC), resulting in the PDP losing its majority.</p>
<p>The Speaker of the House, Hon. Agbebaku, announced that the new Majority Leader is now Hon. Ibhamawu Jonathan Aigbokhan (APC – Esan West), with Hon. Addeh Emakhu Isibor (APC – Esan North-East I) and Hon. Lecky Hussein Mustapha (APC – Etsako West I) taking on the roles of Deputy Majority Leader and Chief Whip, respectively.</p>
<p>In response to the change, the PDP is expected to present its own nominations for principal officer roles within the House.</p>
<p>Agbebaku also clarified that the current leadership of the Speaker and Deputy Speaker remains unaffected by the reshuffling.</p>
