Twenty-one of the 26 lawmakers had reportedly signed an impeachment notice and given the Speaker until Sunday, August 2, to resign from office. Ifabiyi explained that the lawmakers were waiting for guidance from the APC leadership before taking further action. Ifabiyi, however, cautioned the party leadership against protecting the Speaker at the expense of the other lawmakers. He maintained that the majority of the Assembly members remained determined to change the current leadership. He assured residents that the lawmakers remained committed to carrying out their constitutional responsibilities despite the leadership crisis.
