Following the controversial removal of the former Speaker, Aribisogan and the installation of Bunmi Adelugba as a replacement, a fierce battle had started between the two factions in the House.
 

Kemi Balogun, one of the lawmakers suspected for supporting illegally removed Speaker, Ekiti State House of Assembly, Gboyega Aribisogan, has been readmitted. 
Following the controversial removal of the former Speaker, Aribisogan and the installation of Bunmi Adelugba as a replacement, a fierce battle had started between the two factions in the House.
The assembly had slammed an indefinite suspension on Aribisogan and six others, for allegedly working against the interest of the party.
One of the affected legislators was Hon. Balogun, representing Ado Constituency 2.
But the Assembly at its parliamentary session on Monday lifted the suspension on the lawmaker.
This was contained in a statement signed by the Chairman, House Committee on Media and Publicity, Hon. Adeoye Aribasoye.
The statement said: “This action is consequent to the consideration of her letter of apology and the fulfilment of other conditions attached to reinstatement.
“Hon. Adekemi Balogun has therefore been readmitted to the house with all her rights and privileges restored.”
Balogun is the younger sister of the late Deputy Governor of Ekiti State, Mrs Adunni Olayinka.
