Akinruntan, who represents Ilaje Constituency 1, and Ogunmolasuyi, representing Owo Constituency 1, both belong to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

They made their resignation announcements openly on the floor of the House during the plenary session held on Tuesday, which was led by the Speaker, Mr. Olamide Oladiji.
