The motion for the suspension and investigation of the alleged unauthorized campaign publication was moved by the Majority Leader of the Assembly, Chief Gboyega Aribisogan and seconded by Mr. Tajudeen Akingbolu (Ekiti West Constituency 1, APC).
The House in its resolution committed the matter to its Committee on Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs for investigation, while Ayodele was asked to step-aside pending the outcome of the matter.
The Speaker, Hon. Funminiyi Afuye, directed that the concerned committee reports back to the House within one week.
Hon. Stephen Aribasoye (Ikole Constituency 2, APC) and Mr. Olajide Adegoke Efon (APC), described the action of Ayodele as an embarrassment to the government of Ekiti State and Governor Fayemi in particular as well as the Electoral Act.
