Makinde Under Pressure As Oyo Assembly Resumes With Impeachment Allegations Brewing

The House had earlier suspended its sittings due to rising political disagreements connected to the reported development.

According to findings, lawmakers have since resolved their differences and agreed to reconvene in order to continue legislative activities.

A source within the Assembly, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said members are now focused on governance and legislative duties.

He said, “The House will have its plenary tomorrow (Tuesday) to streamline some issues as it affects the state.

“The House has put the issue of impeachment behind it. We are going to concentrate on our constitutional responsibility, which is law-making.”

The alleged impeachment plot had earlier sparked controversy after some lawmakers publicly distanced themselves from the move, further heightening political tension in the state and leading to the suspension of plenary.

Speaker Adebo Ogundoyin was reportedly at the centre of the crisis, alongside claims and counterclaims involving the Olubadan of Ibadan, Oba Rashidi Ladoja.

Also mentioned in the unfolding dispute were Florence Ajimobi, widow of the late former governor Abiola Ajimobi and Ambassador-designate to Austria.

The situation was further escalated by comments attributed to former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose, who alleged that there were moves within the Makinde administration targeting Oba Ladoja.

Fayose, in a post on his X account, suggested that recent political events were being interpreted as part of a wider political agenda involving the traditional ruler.
