By Niyi Olutunde, Akure

The speaker of the Ondo state house of Assembly, Bamidele Oloyelogun and his deputy, Iroju Ogundeji have been impeached by members of the house.

The duo honourable members were impeached on the allegations of ‘gross misconduct’ by the 18 members of the House.

However, a new Speaker and Deputy have emerged in the Ondo State House of Assembly.

Mr Olamide George from Akure North emerged the New Speaker, while Mr Abimbola Fajolu from Ile Oluji/Okeigbo constituency emerged the deputy.

The change was effected at a rowdy plenary, where Princess Jumoke Akindele was picked as acting speaker before the emergence of the new leadership.

However, members of the Ondo State chapter of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, shortly after the impeachment invaded the assembly complex and sent out the lawmakers and the staff of the assembly.
