There was a call by the governor in a letter to Speaker Matthew Kolawole to suspend the nine members and investigate their roles during the elections.
However, Bajeh in a letter to the Kogi State House Assembly voluntarily stepped from the majority leader position.
Bajeh’s major reason for stepping down was in a protest of being called a terrorist by Governor Bello.
