The Oyo State House of Assembly has approved the nomination of Bayo Lawal as the state’s Deputy Governor after impeaching the former Deputy Governor Rauf Olaniyan
Olaniyan was impeached by the lawmakers over allegations of misconduct today.
His impeachment followed the recommendation of a seven-man investigation panel led by Justice MUNTA ABIMBOLA which affirmed the allegations leveled against the deputy governor.
Meanwhile, twenty-three of the thirty-two lawmakers in the Assembly endorsed his impeachment few hours ago.
OLANIYAN had been elected into office in 2019 with Governor Seyi Makinde under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) but had a falling out with the governor over time.
