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.

According to the lawmakers, Oluomo ought to have been impeached since last year, but was pardoned due to the intervention of the state governor and party leaders.

In a notice of impeachment addressed to the Clerk of the House on Tuesday, the 18 lawmakers said they removed the speaker for gross misconduct which bothers on arrogance, and poor leadership style, financial misappropriation, and inciting members against others.

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.”
