THE Ondo State House of Assembly has reinstated its Deputy Speaker, Iroju Ogundeji, who was impeached on Tuesday during plenary and replaced with Hon Bimbo Fajolu.
The reversal was moved in a motion by the Majority Leader, Hon. Gbenga Araoyinbo and seconded by Hon. Fatai Olotu.
According to the legislators, the reversal was as a result of the intervention of party leaders and prominent persons.
Ogundeji was impeached for being at loggerheads with the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Bamidele Oleyeloogun.
He was among the lawmakers who defected to the ruling party from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) shortly after Governor Rotimi Akeredolu became Governor in February last year.
