Mr. Ogunmolasuyi, the Majority Leader, and Mr. Abayomi Akinruntan, the Deputy Speaker of the Ondo State House of Assembly, have resigned.
Both are members of the ruling All Progressives Congress, with Akinruntan representing Ilaje Constituency 1 and Ogunmolasuyi representing Owo Constituency 1.
During Tuesday’s plenary session, which was chaired by Speaker Mr. Olamide Oladiji, the two made their resignations known on the House floor.
Akinruntan gave the state’s political power-sharing agreements as the explanation for his departure.
In the wake of these developments, Mr Ololade Gbegudu, representing Okitipupa Constituency 2, has been selected as the new Deputy Speaker, while Mr Olatunji Oshati, from Ose State Constituency, has assumed the role of Majority Leader.
