See who's the next Speaker of Ogun State House of Assembly

In the next few days, the Speaker of Ogun State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Suraj Adekunbi, will be stepping aside after a record eight-year tenure as the head of the state's legislators; a feat he was able to achieve due to the support of the former Gov. Ibikunle Amosun.

A new state assembly would be inaugurated with a brand new Speaker as well as other principal officers of the house like the Deputy Speaker, Majority Leader and others.

The question on the lips of many Ogun indigenes is: Who is the next Speaker of Ogun State House of Assembly?

African advocate learnt that there are two major contenders for the post.

Oluomo

The current Deputy Speaker, Hon. Taiwo Oluomo of Ifo 2 and Hon. Daisi Elemide of Odeda have been lobbying intensely to become the next speaker of the house. 

Elemide 

According to reports, Elemide is being favoured by Chief Olusegun Osoba, while Oluomo might be getting the support of the governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun. Who wins? 

As it were, loyalists of the two contenders are currently at loggerheads with one another as crisis is brewing underground within the Ogun APC. 

There are fears that Oluomo might be loyal to Amosun and may get the support of the seven APM members to emerge victorious. But this might be far from the truth.

In the same vein, Osoba is believed to have the control of majority of those who won the assembly seat under the APC, so Elemide might be coasting home to victory. 

Elemide or Oluomo? Time will tell.
