One of the contestants for the position of speaker of the House of Representatives, Jibrin Abdulmumin, has written the incoming members of the House intimating them of his desire to become the next speaker.

The party added that the decision of the State House of Assembly was a contempt of court that ordered all parties to maintain status quo in a suit the deputy governor filed before he travelled out to challenge the plan to impeach him.  
The party’s National Vice Chairman in charge of South-West, Chief Pius Akinyelure, faulted Olanusi’s impeachment in a statement he issued in Lagos, noting that the decision of the state assembly, which acted as Mimiko’s rubber stamp, would not stand.
Akinyelure described the impeachment process as a mockery of constitutional order, which he said, the governor of Ondo State, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko and all members of the State House of Assembly were sworn to uphold.
He lamented that despite the decision of a High Court sitting in Akure that all parties should maintain status quo until substantive suit is determined, the legislative arm of the state went ahead to impeach the deputy governor.  
He said the House of Assembly committed three different infractions to the 1999 Constitution.
