Ogun Assembly lawmaker, Damilola Soneye, has explained why the embattled former speaker, Kunle Oluomo, was removed.
Soneye, an All Progressives Congress (APC) legislator representing Obafemi Owode State Constituency, said Oluomo was removed following alleged gross misconduct.
He said the office of the speaker is expected to be first among equals, but noted that Oluomo, until his removal, was carrying on as if his colleagues were lesser lawmakers.
“Oluomo was removed due to gross misconduct, which borders on high handedness, lack of focus and transparency, arrogance and poor leadership style, financial misappropriation and inciting members against one another,” he said.
The former speaker was removed by 18 lawmakers during plenary. Ogun State has 26-member Assembly. It was not clear if Oluomo’s supporters were in attendance, since 18 lawmakers signed the notice of removal.
