No Impeachment Plot Against Osun Speaker - Aide

osun House of Assembly

The Chief Press Secretary to the Speaker, Osun House of Assembly, Timothy Owoeye, Kunle Alabi has stated that there is no plans to impeach the Speaker over alleged misappropriation of fund.

Alabi spoke against the backdrop of the report in a section of the media about an intense plot by some aggrieved lawmakers to remove Owoeye.

The Speaker was alleged to have cornered N40 million Christmas gifts given to them by the state governor, Ademola Adeleke.

Speaking in an interview on Friday in Osogbo, Alabi described the allegation as baseless and a mere fabrication.

According to him, there is no rift between the speaker and his colleagues as being falsely reported.

“The relationship between the speaker and other lawmakers remains cordial contrary to unfounded reports in some quarters that the assembly is in crisis.

“All the allegations raised against Owoeye were mere speculations.

"The speaker has been transparent and fair on every affair relating to the welfare and activities of the house.

“As far as Osun Assembly is concerned, we are one, irrespective of the change in government.

“Money matter cannot create any division among the lawmakers.

“Whatever the Assembly got were its legitimate earnings,” Alabi said.

Some of the lawmakers had accused Owoeye of misappropriating the governor’s largesse.

The alleged plot to remove the Speaker arose after Owoeye gave each of the 26 lawmakers N250,000 and a bag of rice only.
