Ex-Ekiti Speaker raises tension, accuses former governor Fayemi of plotting his removal
Legit.ng earlier reported that the newly elected Ekiti state house of assembly speaker, Gboyega Aribisogan, has pointed an accusing finger at ex-Governor Kayode Fayemi, as being behind his travail in the legislative house.
Aribisogan alleged that Fayemi has not congratulated nor acknowledged him since he emerged as the new speaker of the state house of assembly.
The new speaker said that immediately he emerged as the winner in the legislative election, the state house of assembly complex had been sealed on the suspicion that some hoodlums are planning to attack the building.
