Following the impeachment of Ogun State House Of Assembly’s Speaker, Mr Olakunle Oluomo, the full list of the Assembly members who signed the impeachment letter emerges.

Kunle Oluomo was impeached during Tuesday’s 23rd of January plenary session.

18 out of the 26 members of the State Assembly voted in favour of Oluomo’s impeachment.

Oluomo was impeached on charges of embezzlement, lack of focus, lack of transparency, highhandedness, and other offenses.

The Assembly immediately elected a member, Oludaisi Elemide, as the new speaker.

The copy of the impeachment notice obtained by The Eaglesforesight reads: “whereas the office of the speaker must be first among equals whereas it is supposed to be dignified.

Hon. Olakunle Taiwo oluomo with immediate effect.”
