Edo State Governor, Mr. GODWIN OBASEKI, has said the failure of the national leadership of the All Progressives Congress to properly investigate issues in the Edo State House of Assembly caused the crisis to linger.

Governor OBASEKI spoke when the Senate Committee set up to look into the Edo Assembly crisis went to the state for its fact-finding mission.

Governor OBASEKI who thanked the Senate for deeming it fit to visit the state with a fact-finding team to understand what happened, said the crisis would not have worsened if the headship of the APC had done the same when the matter started.

Senator ALIYU ABDULLAHI said the Senate was concerned about restoring peace and order as provided for in the Constitution, adding that there was no clash with the House of Representatives Committee, as their duties are seen as a function of the National Assembly.
