Oluji/Okeigbo Constituency, became his deputy. Addressing reporters at the assembly complex, the Chairman of the House Committee on Information, Fatai Olotu, alleged that the former leadership was removed as a result of financial impropriety, incompetence and high handedness.

The impeachment was effected after a rowdy session where Princess Jumoke Akindele, a one time Speaker, was picked as Acting Speaker, before the emergence of the new leadership. It was learnt that political thugs invaded the Assembly complex and attacked lawmakers and assembly workers during the impeachment process.
