Impeachment : ODHA reinstates deputy speaker

The Ondo State House of Assembly, ODHA, has reversed the impeachment of the Deputy Speaker, Hon. Iroju Ogundeji.

Ogundeji was impeached on Tuesday during plenary and replaced with Mr Bimbo Fajolu.

The reversal of the impeachment was moved in a motion by the Majority Leader, Hon. Gbenga Araoyinbo and seconded by Hon. Fatai Olotu representing Akoko North East Constituency.

According to the legislators, the reversal was as a result of the intervention of party leaders and prominent persons.

Hon. Ogundeji was impeached for being at loggerheads with the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Bamidele Oleyeloogun.

He was among the Lawmakers who defected to the ruling party from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) shortly after Governor Rotimi Akeredolu became governor in February 2017.
