The only lawmaker elected on the platform of the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP) into the House of Assembly, Leonard Tomide Akinribido, has been suspended.

Akinribido, who represents Ondo West Constituency 1, was suspended over alleged gross misconduct and use of vulgar words against Speaker Bamidele Oleyelogun in the hallowed chamber and on What Sapp platform.
