Bayo Lawal was confirmed following the impeachment of Rauf Olaniyan as deputy governor.
Olaniyan was impeached yesterday by members of the State House of Assembly, following misconduct and series of allegations leveled against him.
Bayo Lawal is the Chairman, Oyo State Housing Corporation and also the running mate to Governor Seyi Makinde for the 2023 governorship election.
Meanwhile, the sacked Oyo State Deputy Governor, Rauf Olaniyan, has faulted the Chief Judge of the state, Justice Munta Abimbola, over the constitution of the seven-man panel which recommended his removal from office.
Olaniyan, in a statement by his lawyer, Afolabi Fashanu alleged that the panel raised to investigate the allegations against him was paid to do what they did.
Describing that panel as a charade, he said it could not stand the test of time.
The lawyer said it was unfortunate that the panel members allowed themselves to be compromised and used to do what he described as a dirty job.
