ogun speaker

Olakunle Oluomo, the Speaker of the Ogun State House of Assembly, has been impeached.

Our correspondent gathered that Oluomo, representing Ifo I constituency, was impeached by 18 out of 26 members of the assembly.

In his stead, Elemide Oludaisi representing Odeda constituency has been elected the new speaker.

Elemide, a loyalist of former Governor Olusegun Osoba, had stepped down from the speakership race to pave way Oluomo’s re-election during the inauguration of the tenth assembly in June.

Oluomo is currently facing N2.5billion corruption charges bothering on alleged diversion of the assembly’s fund.
