PDP Lawgivers Appoint New Speaker In Ekiti

By on 15:20
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) lawmakers of ekiti state today elected Honorable Dele Olugbemi as the new Speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly.

 The lawmakers meet on round table to elect the speaker and other principal officers while 19 lawmakers belonging to the All Progressives Congress, APC, were in Lagos, for a press conference.
However, Adewale Omirin has described the move by the PDP lawmakers as illegal, insisting he remains the Speaker.
Honorable Olugbemi had been made the acting speaker on Monday, after seven lawmakers were escorted into the state Assembly Complex in Ekiti by the  Mobile Police Commander, Selenkere Michael.
There were also reports that the police were reported to have prevented 19 others including the substantive speaker, Dr. Olawale Omirin, from entering the Assembly Complex.
According to the seven lawmakers, an acting speaker was only appointed to allow it carry out urgent business of the assembly in the absence of the substantive speaker and his deputy.
