Aribisogan was elected as the new Speaker of the House of Assembly following the death of the late Speaker, Funminyi Afuye.

The invasion of the Ekiti State House of Assembly by the police on Wednesday over an alleged security threat was a ruse to prevent the new Speaker of the House, Gboyega Aribisogan, from taking charge, SaharaReporters has learnt.

Nigeria Police personnel took over the House of Assembly complex, claiming a security beef-up was necessary to avert an alleged plot by hoodlums to attack the complex.

There were armed police officers stationed around the Assembly complex, forcing workers to close early in response to the alleged threat.

SaharaReporters, however, learnt that the immediate former Governor of the state, Kayode Fayemi was behind the ruse targeted at preventing Aribisogan from taking charge as the Speaker of the Assembly.  

Aribisogan was elected as the new Speaker of the House of Assembly following the death of the late Speaker, Funminyi Afuye.

He was sworn in as Speaker by the Clerk of the House, Tola Esan, following his victory.
