ONDO SPEAKER FACES IMPEACHMENT AS 21 LAWMAKERS SIGN NOTICE

The Speaker of the Ondo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Olamide Oladiji, is facing an imminent impeachment threat as 21 members of the House have signed a notice against him.

The development, which broke on Wednesday, has plunged the assembly into another round of crisis.

According to sources, the aggrieved lawmakers accused the Speaker of alleged financial misconduct, high-handedness, and poor leadership.

A copy of the impeachment notice has reportedly been served on the Speaker, giving him the opportunity to defend himself.

However, supporters of the Speaker described the move as politically motivated and lacking the required numbers to succeed.

The crisis comes at a time of heightened political activities in Ondo State, with various factions positioning themselves ahead of future elections.

Political observers are watching closely to see how the leadership crisis in the Ondo Assembly will be resolved.
