Mr Iroju Ogundeji the Deputy Speaker of the Assembly, and the Majority Leader, Jamiu Maito, were parts of the nine members that refused to sign the impeachment notice.
Others included Favour Tomomowo, Rasheed Elegbeleye, Festus Akingbaso, Adewale Adewinle, Samuel Edmisan, Tomide Akinribido and Success Torhukerijor.
The state house of Assembly has twenty-six members and would require 18 members (two-third) to successfully perfect the impeachment.
In a recent interview with Newsmen Deputy Agboola Ajayi said that he had yet to be served the impeachment notice by members of the State House of Assembly contrary to reports.
Agboola stated he would consider the impeachment notice as a rumour since he had not been “served officially”.
He said:
“It is a kangaroo impeachment notice and it is even dead on arrival and I don’t know how the Assembly wants to go about it.
“I have not been officially served a copy of the impeachment notice and people are already reporting it.”
