The Deputy Speaker of the Ondo
State House of Assembly, Iroju Ogundeji, has been impeached.
Ogundeji was impeached during the
plenary session of the Assembly on Tuesday.
The now-former Deputy Speaker
represents Odigbo Constituency II in the Assembly and is also a member of the
All Progressives Congress, APC.
He was removed after 18 out of 26
lawmakers signed for his removal and the signatures were received by the
Speaker of the House, Bamidele Oloyeloogun, during the session.
Ogundeji was among the 18
lawmakers who defected to the ruling party from the Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, shortly after Governor Rotimi Akeredolu took over the power in the state
in February 2017.
Following the impeachment, he was
immediately replaced by Bimbo Fajolu, who represents Ile Oluji /Oke Igbo state
constituency.
