He assured that any move to impeach him will not succeed as he has the full backing of lawmakers.

Recall that operatives of the Nigeria Police on Thursday took over the Edo State House of Assembly complex in Benin City.

The security officials stormed the complex while patrol vehicles were stationed around the area.
