Ekiti State House of Assembly Speaker, Gboyega Aribisogan, has been impeached and suspended indefinitely, by the lawmakers.
Seventeen out of the 25 lawmakers elected, Olubunmi Adelugba, as the new speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly.
The leadership of the Assembly has been in crisis since the death of former speaker, Funminiyi Afuye who died at the Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital on October 19 after suffering cardiac arrest.
Ekiti State Assembly Complex had been sealed as members split into opposing groups over the position of the speaker.
Aribisogan, who is the representative of Ikole 1 Constituency in the Assembly and a two-term lawmaker, emerged Speaker a month after Afuye’s death.
