BREAKING: Ogun Assembly Speaker, Kunle Oluomo impeached

The Speaker of the Ogun State House of Assembly, Olakunle Oluomo, faced impeachment as 18 members collectively voted for his removal, subsequently appointing Hon. Oludaisi Elemide as his replacement.

The Ogun State House of Assembly plunged into a crisis with the ousting of Speaker Olakunle Oluomo. The unfolding of this development occurred on Tuesday morning through a simple majority decision within the Assembly.

Sources disclosed that Hon. Oludaisi Elemide, representing Odeda State Constituency, has assumed the role of Speaker, stepping in for Oluomo. The shift in power traces back to a prior contest between Elemide and Oluomo, where the latter emerged victorious, believed to be due to executive backing.

The confirmation of Oluomo’s removal by an anonymous lawmaker underscores a significant upheaval in the political landscape of Ogun State. As events unfold, the details surrounding Oluomo’s ousting and the internal dynamics of the Assembly remain veiled in uncertainty.
