Unfolding political drama in Ondo state appears to have shifted to the State House of Assembly as it claims it's first casualties with the suspension of the Deputy Speaker, Iroju Ogundeji over "unruly behaviour" displayed on Tuesday.
Ogundeji who is one of the members of the assembly that went against the decision to impeach the deputy governor of the state, Agboola Ajayi was suspended alongside one other member of the state Assembly, Adewale Williams
Meanwhile, the Majority leader of Ondo State House of Assembly, Jamiu Maito has resigned.
Maito’s resignation is coming shortly after the Deputy Speaker of the House and one other member were suspended over unruly behavior.
The suspended Deputy Speaker, Iroju Ogundeji is said to be loyal to the embattled deputy governor of the state, Agboola Ajayi.
On Tuesday, the Ondo Assembly began the impeachment process of the deputy governor but met a stiff opposition in 9 members who refused to follow the 14 members that voted in support of the impeachment.
Recall that Agboola Ajayi defected to the PDP from the APC and will contest in the governorship primaries of the PDP ahead of the Ondo 2020 elections.
