Thirty-six year old Oyo Speaker Adebo Ogundoyin has emerged the new Chairman of the Conference of Speakers of State Legislatures of Nigeria.
Ogundoyin, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), emerged at a national meeting of the Conference in Abuja following withdrawal of Ogun Speaker Taiwo Oluomo from the race.
The appointment of Ogundoyin was confirmed through a unanimous voice vote by the speakers at the Conference.
This was consequent upon the expiration of the two-year tenure of the former occupant and Bauchi Speaker Hon Abubakar Suleiman.
The Constitution of the Conference stipulates a two year term of office for its elected leadership, which is rotated between the North and the South
