  • Crisis deepens in Ondo Assembly as aggrieved lawmakers insist on speaker’s impeachment

    Crisis deepens in Ondo Assembly as aggrieved lawmakers insist on speaker’s impeachment

    The crisis rocking the Ondo State House of Assembly has escalated, with aggrieved lawmakers intensifying moves to impeach the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Olamide Oladiji, over allegations of financial misconduct and abuse of office.

    Twelve lawmakers had last week passed a vote of no confidence in the Speaker, accusing him of diverting N50 million meant for a public hearing and mismanaging monthly operational grants.

    Speaking on Sunday during a radio interview on Crest 106.1 FM, Akure, and monitored by The Nation, Hon. Olajide Oguntodu, representing Akure South Constituency I, confirmed that he and eleven others have already signed an impeachment notice.

    Oguntodu said the allegations against the Speaker raise troubling concerns about transparency and accountability within the 10th Assembly. He dismissed claims that the impeachment push was politically motivated or sponsored by external forces.

    According to him, the move is “purely about integrity and accountability,” asserting it has “absolutely nothing to do with the Governor of Ondo State or any political figure.”

    He accused lawmakers defending the Speaker of undermining the state’s progress, warning that the Assembly must embrace transparency.

    Last week, Speaker Oladiji dismissed the impeachment threat as a “misplaced priority,” insisting the House would not be distracted from its legislative duties, including work on the re-ordered 2025 Appropriation Act.

    Supported by key Assembly leaders—including the Deputy Speaker, Hon. Olalade Gbegudu; Chairman, House Committee on Finance and Appropriation, Hon. Oluwole Ogunmolasuyi; and Hon. Fayemi-Obayelu Olawumi (Ilaje II)—Oladiji maintained that he enjoys the backing of the majority of the 26-member Assembly and the full support of Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa.

    On the allegation of diverting N50 million, the Speaker insisted he does not personally handle Assembly finances and reaffirmed his commitment to transparency.

    The Assembly had been sharply divided since Governor Aiyedatiwa submitted a N531 billion “supplementary budget” to the House for approval.

    Some lawmakers rejected the proposal, questioning the need for such a massive supplementary request barely two months before the end of the fiscal year.

    The supplementary budget, presented on November 4, 2025, by the Clerk of the House, Barr. Benjamin Jayeola, seeks approval to fund ongoing capital projects and recurrent obligations, including salaries, pensions, and newly initiated infrastructure works.

    A copy of the budget document showed that the governor is requesting N531,767,261,000, with N254,448,081,000 earmarked for recurrent expenditure and N277,319,130,000 for capital projects for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.

    Some lawmakers opposed to the budget accused the executive of poor budget performance and fiscal indiscipline in implementing the 2025 Appropriation Law.

    The unfolding crisis has deepened divisions within the assembly, raising concerns about legislative stability and political alignment ahead of the 2027 general elections.

    Ondo Assembly crisis deepens as Speaker dismisses ‘impeachment plot’

    Embattled Ondo Speaker Olamide Oladiji has dismissed the impeachment threat against him by a group of aggrieved lawmakers, describing the move as politically motivated and lacking in substance.

    Twelve lawmakers on Thursday passed a vote of no confidence in the Speaker, accusing him of diverting N50 million and demanding his immediate removal.

    But in a swift counter-move, 14 lawmakers loyal to Oladiji declared confidence in his leadership, urging the public to disregard what they called unfounded allegations of gross misconduct.

    Addressing journalists on Saturday in Akure, Oladiji said the dissenting lawmakers lacked the capacity to destabilise the administration of Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa or obstruct the amendment of the 2025 Appropriation Act.

    He alleged that the impeachment plot was tied to early political realignments ahead of the 2027 elections, insisting that he would not allow the Assembly’s constitutional duties to be held hostage.

    “These honourable members who passed a vote of no confidence in me have not been coming for their legislative assignments. As I speak to you now, the majority of them are outside the country,” he said.

    The Speaker explained that the lawmakers attempted to use the ongoing budget reordering process as leverage to compel Governor Aiyedatiwa to accede to their personal demands – an approach he described as reckless. 

    According to him, the 14 lawmakers who backed him were resolute in rejecting any attempt to “blackmail” the executive arm by tying legislative approval to private negotiations.

    “What we did was not even a supplementary budget; it was a reordering. The 14 of us are strongly together, and we have the backing of His Excellency because what we are doing is not personal,” he added.

    On the allegation of diverting N50 million, Oladiji dismissed the claim, maintaining that he does not directly handle the Assembly’s finances.

    “I don’t deal with the house (assembly) money or account. I have been very transparent,” he said. 

    Oladiji reaffirmed the Assembly’s commitment to supporting Governor Aiyedatiwa in delivering democratic dividends to the people of the state. 

    The Ondo Assembly had been sharply divided since Governor Aiyedatiwa presented a N531 billion “supplementary budget” for legislative approval.

    The budget was submitted on November 4, 2025, and read by the Clerk, Barr. Benjamin Jayeola seeks to fund ongoing capital projects, salaries, pensions, and newly initiated infrastructure works.

    A copy of the budget document showed that the Governor is requesting N531,767,261,000, with N254,448,081,000 earmarked for recurrent expenditure and N277,319,130,000 for capital projects for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.

    However, several lawmakers have challenged the proposal, accusing the executive arm of fiscal indiscipline and poor implementation of the 2025 Appropriation Law.

    With the Assembly split into two entrenched camps, political observers warn that the crisis could intensify if both sides fail to close ranks and prioritise governance over personal interests

    Ondo Assembly workers suspend planned strike

    The Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria (PASAN), Ondo State chapter, has suspended its proposed industrial action following the intervention of Gov. Lucky Aiyedatiwa.

    The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that PASAN in the state had issued a seven-day ultimatum, which elapsed on Monday, over the implementation of salary scale for its members.

    Speaking to newsmen on Monday in Akure, the state Chairperson of  the association, Mrs Hellen Olorunfemi, commended the governor for approving the request of members on the implementation of the Consolidated Legislative Salary Structure (CONLESS).

    Olorunfemi said that the development would bring relief among parliamentary staff in the state.

    “We tabled our demands before the governor and to the glory of God, he gave instant approval.

    “He directed the Head of Service and all concerned officers, to immediately prepare the necessary implementation table, so the process can begin without delay,” she said.

    She noted that Ondo had been the only state left behind in the implementation of CONLESS in South-West, hence the the reason to embark on the planned strike, prior to the governor’s intervention.

    “Lagos and other states have long implemented this structure. We are happy that Ondo State is finally joining,” she added.

    Olorunfemi also appreciated the Speaker of the Ondo State House of Assembly, Chief Olamide Oladiji, for his unwavering support during the struggle.

    She lauded the collaborative efforts of both the executive and legislative arms of government for the peaceful resolution.

    “With the governor’s directive already being implemented by the office of the Accountant General, PASAN has officially suspended its planned strike action,” she stated.

  • Ondo Assembly urges striking poly workers to embrace peace

    Ondo Assembly urges striking poly workers to embrace peace

    Ondo State House of Assembly has appealed to the management and members of staff of Rufus Giwa Polytechnic (RUGIPO), Owo, to show understanding and embrace peace, in the interest of the students.

    News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the workers of the institution embarked on indefinite strike over the non-payment of six month salaries and non-implementation of the national minimum wage.

    NAN reports that the House of Assembly had last Thursday set up an Ad-hoc Committee to investigate the reasons for the protest.

    The House of the Assembly, through the Ad hoc Committee, however, assured the workers that their demands would be addressed.

    The Chairman of the Ad-hoc Committee, Mr Stephen Abitogun, made the appeal during a meeting with the school’s management yesterday in Akure.

    He said institutions of higher learning were meant to be centres of academic excellence where talents were nurtured and careers were shaped.

    He said the state was known for peace and tranquillity, hence the House of the Assembly’s decision to set up an Ad hoc Committee to interface with key stakeholders in the institution.

    The chairman said the engagement process had been structured into three stages: meeting with the polytechnic management, engagement with the academic and non-academic staff, and dialogue with the students.

    “As representatives of the people, some of whom have their children and wards in that institution, we cannot stand by and watch the institution becoming a breeding ground for unrest.

    “We pledge to review the findings of this committee and make recommendations to the appropriate authorities to restore and sustain peace, progress and stability on campus,” he said.

    Acting Rector, Mr Adegun Olorunwa, admitted that the workers were being owed six months salaries and pleaded with them to be patient, as efforts were ongoing to address the situation.

    On the implementation of the minimum wage, Olorunwa said no higher institution in the state had received increased subvention to implement it.

    “Upon my assumption of office, the situation had deteriorated so much that salaries were being paid in percentages.

    “At that time, workers were receiving as little as five per cent. Sometimes it was 10 per cent, 20 per cent, and at best, 70 per cent.

    “We often had to wait three months just to pay one month’s salary. It was that bad.

    “But on the day I took over, I gathered the workers and declared that the era of percentage salary payments had come to an end. By God’s grace, that declaration has held true.

    “I can confidently tell you that since 18 months ago, we have been paying salaries in full, 100 per cent.

    “The governor, since inception, has been attending to our concerns by paying six out of 12 months’ salary arrears at once,” he said.

    Olorunwa said his approach had been peaceful, adding that the institution had never been shut down.

    “As we speak, students are still on campus. So, the idea of shutting down the institution does not exist.

    “We are here to listen to you. At the end of this process, our recommendations will be aimed at ensuring peace and development,” he said.

    The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the budget is N43,429,496,000 billion higher than the N655.23 billion Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa presented to the House of Assembly on December 10.

    The 2025 Appropriation Bill, named: Budget of Recovery, showed that N433,622,000,000 was allocated to capital expenditure, representing 62.06 per cent of the total budget; while N265,037,496,000 was earmarked for recurrent expenditure, which is 47.94 per cent.

    Ogunmolasuyi, who is also the House Majority Leader, added that the committee noted that the hyper inflationary trend had affected, to some extent, the prevailing cost projections highlighted in the estimates presented.

    He urged the Ministry of Economic Planning and Budget as well as the Ministry of Finance, in conjunction with the state’s Internal Revenue Service (ODIRS), to ensure that the desire of the government to boost IGR was pursued in line with the dictates of the extant laws.

    Speaker Olamide Oladiji noted that through the budget, a brand new Ondo State was guaranteed by the Lucky Aiyedatiwa-led administration.

    In Enugu State, Governor Peter Mbah yesterday signed the N971 billion 2025 Appropriation Bill into law.

    The governor promised that his administration would diligently implement the budget to achieve the target of exponential economic growth and inclusive prosperity for the state.

    The Appropriation Bill, called: Budget of Exponential Growth and Inclusive Prosperity, comprises N837.9 billion capital expenditure, representing 86 per cent; and a recurrent expenditure of N133.1 billion, representing only 14 per cent.

    The education sector got N320.6 billion, representing over 33 per cent, the largest share of the total budget for the second year.

    Mbah signed the Appropriation Bill into law at a brief ceremony witnessed by members of the House of Assembly, led by Speaker Uchenna Ugwu, Deputy Speaker Ezenta Ezeani, and other lawmakers.

    He said: “If you look at the development model adopted, it is one that takes into account the development challenges we have across our state because as I have always said we are only as good as our weakest link. So, we have responsibility to make sure that nobody and no section of the state is left out.”

    Ugwu attributed the sustenance and early passage of the budget figures to the involvement of the House of Assembly in its preparation.

    Also, Gombe State Governor Muhammadu Yahaya has signed the state’s 2025 Appropriation Bill of N369.9 billion into law, following its approval by the state House of Assembly.

    During the signing ceremony at the Government House in Gombe on Monday, Yahaya described the 2025 budget as a blueprint for economic growth and social development.

    “We are committed to ensuring that these resources are effectively utilised for the greater good of our people,” he added.

    Speaker Abubakar Luggerewo said the House of Assembly increased the budget from N320.1 billion to N369.9 billion to meet the aspirations of the people of Gombe State.

    Ondo Assembly mulls 10-year jail term for land grabbers

    The Ondo State House of Assembly is considering a bill that proposes harsh penalties for land grabbers, including up to 10 years imprisonment for forceful entry or illegal takeover of properties.

    Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa has further reinforced the fight against land grabbing by signing an Executive Order to prohibit such activities. 

    The order aims to end forceful entry, illegal occupation of landed properties, and fraudulent or violent conduct related to land in the state.

    To strengthen enforcement, the governor has established a Task Force to protect property rights, uphold the rule of law, and ensure a secure environment for property owners and residents.

    The proposed bill also includes severe penalties of up to 21 years imprisonment for selling family land without the consent of the family head or secretary.
