Six months after his suspension, Donald Okogbe has been recalled by the Edo State House of Assembly.
Okogbe is an ally of Philip Shaibu, the reinstated deputy governor of the state.
DAILY POST reports that the lawmakers also recalled Addeh Isibor, the All Progressives Congress, APC, lawmaker representing Esan North-East Constituency II.
The Speaker of the House, Blessing Agbebaku, announced the recalling of the duo at plenary on Wednesday in Benin City.

The Speaker had also in June 2024 recalled Bright Iyamu for being remorseful.
Agbebaku had alleged that the suspended lawmakers are being used by some external forces to cause chaos in a bid to change the leadership of the house.
He also accused the lawmakers of bringing juju priest to the premises of the assembly at about 1 am to perform some rituals.
One of the suspended lawmaker, Isibor, had instituted a N3 billion libel suit against the Speaker and several media houses.
