The Ekiti State House of Assembly, Speaker, Kola Oluwawole and his deputy, Sina Animashaun has been impeached and other 12 lawmakers last Thursday.

 Their impeachment was spearheaded by the three All Progressives Congress lawmakers in the assembly with aggrieved Peoples Democratic Party members.

 The impeachment came five days to the end of the tenure of Governor Ayodele Fayose on 15th of October, 2018.

 The Assembly also reinstated a former Deputy Speaker, Segun Adewumi, who was recently impeached by the lawmakers.

 The 10 lawmakers suspended are the Spokesperson for the Assembly, Dr Samuel Omotoso; Wale Onigiobi, Wale Ayeni, Dare Pelem, Jeje Samuel, Dayo Akinleye, Ayodele Fajemilehin, Temitope Fasanmi, Tunji Akinyele, and Sanya Aladeyelu.

 At the sitting, an APC member, Mr Sunday Akinniyi, was elected the Minority Leader; Fajana Ojo-Ade, Deputy Leader; Mrs Cecilia Dada, Chief Whip;  and Musa Arogundade, Deputy Chief Whip.

 However, Fayose condemned the role of the security in the impeachment of Oluwawole.
