In a surprising turn of events, 18 out of 26 members of the Ogun State House of Assembly carried out an impeachment of the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Olakunle Oluomo, on Tuesday, January 23, 2024.
Reports indicate that Hon. Oludaisi Elemide, who was a rival to Oluomo in the last speakership election, has been announced as the new Speaker in the wake of the impeachment. The details surrounding the reasons for the impeachment and the specific circumstances leading to this development are yet to be disclosed.
The change in leadership within the Ogun State House of Assembly marks a significant political development and is likely to have implications for the legislative landscape in the state. As the new Speaker assumes office, observers will be keenly watching for any further developments and the impact this change may have on the dynamics within the assembly.
