Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun has reacted to the impeachment of Olakunle Oluomo as the Speaker of the State House of Assembly.

The Governor agreed with the decision of the Assembly, insisting that the lawmakers have the right to choose their leader.

Abiodun broke his silence on the leadership crisis rocking the Assembly, 48 hours after the lawmakers removed Oluomo as their leader.

Olumo, representing the Ifo I constituency, was impeached on Tuesday, during a plenary presided over by the Deputy Speaker, Mrs Bolanle Ajayi.

Oluomo, who has been dragged to court by the Economic Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over alleged financial misappropriation was impeached by 18 lawmakers out of 26 member-assembly.

He was impeached over alleged gross misconduct, high-handedness, lack of focus and transparency, arrogance, poor leadership style, financial misappropriation and inciting members against themselves.

But, reacting to Oluomo’s impeachment, Abiodun insisted that the lawmakers have the prerogative to elect their leaders in line with the stipulated law.

The Governor stated this in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media, Kayode Akinmade in Abeokuta on Thursday.

Abiodun said his administration and the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state are working on finding a lasting solution to the leadership crisis at the Assembly.
