Ekiti State Assembly Speaker, Gboyega Aribisogan has been impeached and suspended indefinitely by members of the Assembly.
Bulletin.ng learnt that 10 members of Ekiti State House of Assembly impeached him on Monday morning.
Prior to his removal, Aribisogan had on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics accused the immediate past governor of the state, Kayode Fayemi of working with members of the state legislature to impeach him.
“The majority of members of Assembly voted for me but few of them who felt perhaps I did not follow the directive of the former governor, Dr. Fayemi, thought that they would make the state ungovernable for even the administration,” Aribisogan said last night.
“I didn’t have any quarrel with him (Fayemi). I sent a message to him even last night asking, ‘What is happening? Am I no longer one of your loyalists? Why did you not congratulate me?’
“Up till now that I’m speaking with you, he has not done anything. Otherwise, he has been going around calling our members to go and impeach me tomorrow. That is the truth.”
Bulletin.ng reports that the leadership of the Ekiti 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.
