Seven members of the People’s Democratic Party(PDP) in Ekiti State House of Assembly backed by well armed policemen have impeached the Speaker of the of the assembly, Rt. Hon. Adewale Omirin.
The police allegedly prevented 19 others including the substantive speaker from entering the assembly complex earlier today.
Omirin and Governor Ayodele Fayose have been at loggerheads since the swearing-in of the governor.
Fayose has accused the speaker and other All Progressives Congress (APC) lawmakers in the House of frustrating his government by rejecting the list of Commissioners sent to the Assembly
But Omirin described the governor’s action as blackmail.
Gov. Ayodele Fayose is billed swear-in Caretaker Committees in the 18 local government areas of the state today without the approval of the House.
It was gathered that the seven PDP legislators have also installed one of their own Dele Olugbemi as the acting Speaker.
The PDP has seven members in the house while the APC has 18, excluding the speaker.
