making the rounds that the state Governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi has
been served with impeachment notice.
Parliamentary Caucus, Hon. Fatai Salam and other lawmakers said that
there had not been any allegation of misconduct
leveled against the governor that could warrant any
impeachment. Salam said that the 32-member House was still intact and
solidly behind Governor Ajimobi.
He explained that members of the 7th Assembly had, since
inception, been enjoying good relations with one another
irrespective of their party affiliations and, therefore, has no plan
to disrupt the existing peace in the state.
"Since three years ago, we have been having good and smooth
relationship with the governor. The 32 members have been
having everything in a very civil and civilized way. There has
never been any issue that could spark the rumours being peddled around.
"In our operations, the House has been having good relationship with
the executive arm of government and the governor, and nothing that is
going on in the North can get to the level of impeaching the governor.
"I want to tell the people of Oyo State and the whole world to
disregard the news that the House is planning anything against
the governor of the state. One of the paramount things that is
very vital to the desire of the state House of Assembly is to
ensure peace in the state," the assembly man said.
The lawmaker, who was flanked by 10 other members, said that
the news briefing was not attended by all members of the House
because the House was currently on recess.
He appealed to the people of the state to remain calm and go
about their normal businesses, stressing that there was no impeachment
move whatsoever against the governor. News that 24 members of the
House had signed an impeachment
notice to remove Governor Ajimobi of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) from office surfaced on Wednesday in the
social media.
