The Deputy speaker of the Ondo state House of
Assembly Iroju Ogundeji was on Tuesday, May
23 impeached by his colleagues in the House
during the plenary session of the Assembly.

Constituency II in the Assembly and member of
the APC was removed after 18 out of the 26
lawmakers had signed for his removal and the
signature was received by the Speaker of the
House Bamidele Oloyeloogun, during the session.
The reason for the action of the lawmakers
against Ogundeji was not known yet as of the
time of filing this report; but a source told our

was removed following some allegations of
“gross misconduct” leveled against him.

the speaker.”

February 2017.

Fajolu, who represents Ile Oluji/Oke Igbo state
Constituency.
