The Ondo State House of
Assembly has reversed the purported impeachment of its speaker, Jumoke
Akindele and other principal officers.
Chairman, House Committee
on Information, Olamide George disclosed this on Wednesday in Akure while
addressing a news conference.
We recall that 18 out of the 26 members of the House
met late Tuesday night in the house of one of the aggrieved members to impeach
Akindele and Fatai Olotu, the deputy speaker.
“On
Tuesday, 8th of March, 2016, sizeable number of members of Ondo State House of
Assembly met on some burning issues touching on the leadership of the House.
“Before
plenary today, Wednesday 9th of March, 2016, members, at a larger and official
gathering, met to review the situation.
“They
consequently resolved to allow the status quo ante on the leadership of Ondo
State House of Assembly as at 7th March 2016 to remain,” George said.
According
to him, the House of assembly remains united, cohesive and alive to its
constitutional responsibilities.
The
committee chairman said that the issue of the leadership of the house was an
internal affair and had been treated as such.
