CRISIS LINGERS IN ONDO ASSEMBLY




Crisis  rocking the Ondo state House of Assembly  seems  not to have a solution at sight as the two warring factions  laying claim to leadership of the House  are not ready to shift ground as  the  Assembly complex was under key and lock with the watchful strong eyes of security agencies.

Information gathered  said the embattled  Speaker, Jumoke Akindele  and other twelve (12) members were at Assembly complex this morning ( Monday ) for a plenary session when the Malaki Coker, lead group with other twelve  (12)  members  stormed  the House  and disrupted  the session   , insisting that their group had the authentic leadership of the House. 


However, to prevent crisis and chaos, the security operatives  quickly swift to action and asked all members and staff of the Assembly to vacate the premises  and put the Assembly under lock,while  security prevent entrance to the premises. One of the security operatives at the Assembly complex, who spoke under  annonimity   told journalists that the Commissioner of Police has instructed that no person should be allowed into the complex for any transaction. 

While speaking on the development,  Hon. Olusiji  Akindiose, chairman House committee  on information, and also at the Jumoke Akindele faction, said the purported suspension / impeachment  of the Speaker  and the Deputy is illegal, foul and more so that the process  run foul against parliamentary guidelines in such a matter in question .

Adding that the said lists of members that signed the impeachment notice of the Speaker  been  paraded  by the group ,happens to be the old lists signed then to impeached the Speaker , which the matter has been  resolved.

In their own position, the Malaki  Coker , Speakership  lead faction  with other twelve (12) members ,which Hon. Ogundeji  Iroju  from Odigbo 1 state constituency, spoke on the  behalf of the group said all the claims of the Jumoke Akindele leadership faction are  nothing but all lies. Posits that all the due procedure for the impeachment were followed to the last letter and that twenty (20) out of the twenty-six (26) Lawmakers signed the impeachment  notice accordingly  with dates to authenticate their signatures.

Iroju  noted that some few cabal in the House can not  continue to be ruling arbitrarily and fraudulently  at the expense  of the generality citizenry, hence the need for change of leadership of the House.


The group how ever call on the authorities of Stanbic,  IBTC and Access  banks not to honour any transaction  from the House now, pending the time the whole situation will come to normalcy, urging the people of the state to frown at any move to plunder the state to penury
