Oyo State House of Assembly, few hours after the impeachment of the former Deputy Governor, Rauf Olaniyan, Monday, approved the appointment of Adebayo Lawal, as the new Deputy Governor.

The approval followed the nomination of Lawal to the lawmakers by Governor Seyi Makinde.

The former Attorney General of the State was also the Chairman of the State Housing Corporation before his appointment.

He hails from Kisi in the Irepo Local Government Area of Oke-Ogun, the same zone from where the impeached Olaniyan comes from.

Lawal is Makinde's running mate for the 2023 gubernatorial election in the State.
