Impeachment: I remain Ogun Speaker – Oluomo breaks silence
The embattled Speaker of the Ogun State House of Assembly, Olakunle Oluomo claimed that he remains the Speaker of the State House of Assembly.He broke his silence three days after the announcement of his impeachment by 18 lawmakers out of the 26 members of the Assembly.
While addressing a press conference at his quarters in Abeokuta, Olakunle Oluomo described the impeachment as dramatic and revealed that he chose to leave the premises for the governor’s office when the drama started.
While responding to allegations of financial misappropriation, the embattled Speaker stated that he has records of transactions between him and the members of the House.
He said he has approached the court to seek redress.
He expressed disappointment in the lack of intervention from Governor Dapo Abiodun and the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) which he had expected.
Having waited for the party’s leadership to intervene without success, Oluomo announced his decision to take the matter to court.
Despite describing Abiodun as his benefactor and expressing gratitude for endorsing his candidacy for the Speakership twice, Oluomo emphasized the need for justice.
He also acknowledged Senator Adeola Olamilekan, popularly known as Yayi, as a personal friend. Oluomo praised the transparency in the distribution of Christmas gifts to the House by Yayi and others.
