Elisabeth Ativie, the first female to emerge Speaker of the Edo State House of Assembly, has stepped down.
She was made Speaker on the May 3 and was sworn-in on the May 9 after Victor Edoror was impeached over financial misappropriation.
Ativie was asked to step down by the party leadership to pave way for a lawmaker from Edo Central senatorial district to emerge Speaker.
This was to balance power equation in the state.
Festus Okonoboh representing Igueben was elected Speaker.
