Ekiti State Assembly Speaker, Gboyega Aribisogan, has been impeached and suspended indefinitely by members of the parliament
Olubunmi Adelugba, who is the anointed candidate of immediate past governor of the state, Kayode Fayemi has now been elected as the new speaker.
Seventeen of the 25 members impeached the Speaker and elected a new one.
The Assembly Complex had been shut as members were engaged in a controversy following the death of the former speaker, Funminiyi Afuye.
Afuye died at the Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital on October 19 after suffering cardiac arrest.
Four weeks after his death, the parliament held an election and Aribisogan, who is the representative of Ikole 1 Constituency in the Assembly and a two-term lawmaker, emerged after defeating Adelugba.
Aribisogan had fingered Fayemi as the brain behind the plot to impeach him so as to have Adelugba as Speaker.
