Mr Kayode Segun from Ward eight raised a motion for the impeachment at the plenary on Thursday.
The impeachment notice signed by the councillors.
The former chief whip of the house, Mr Amuwa Benjamin emerged the new leader of the house with a pledge to transform the legislative body.
Mr Amuwa also promised effective representation of people in the council area through robust legislation.
