Although the proceeding where the pro-Fayose lawmakers impeached the Omirin was shrouded in mystery especially as it had to do with the identity of the lawmakers at the plenary, Olugbemi has since Thursday assumed duties as the third citizen of the state in the Office of the Speaker.
This is as Omirin, who alongside the other 18 All Progressives Congress (APC) lawmakers at present in exile in Lagos, has threatened to resume tomorrow at the office to continue with his legislative duties as the Speaker.
Although Omirin who had alleged threat to his life and those of the other 18 APC lawmakers held his resumption tactics and way to fight back close to his chest, it is apparent there will be tension in the Assembly tomorrow with the anticipated resumption of two warring captains in the same ship.
While the pro-Fayose lawmakers said 10 members sat at the plenary last Monday to ratify the Commissionersnominees of Governor Ayodele Fayose and the caretaker committee members for the 16 local government areas and sat on Thursday to effect the Omirin’s impeachment, the APC caucus in the House said only seven PDP lawmakers, who did not form a quorum, sat on the two occasions
