Speaker directs Ekiti House of Assembly to go on recess as crisis looms

Uncategorized

Ekiti House speaker, Dr. Adewale Omirin has directed that Ekiti House of Assembly go on recess for one month. This is as reports have indicated that the newly defecting members of the house are planning to impose a new speaker on the house at its resumption of sitting tomorrow.

“In line with the spirit of the moment culminating in the change of personnel manning the Government of the state, the Ekiti State House of Assembly, as major player, needs to appraise its position with a view to ensuring continuity in good governance within the state. The Rt. Hon. Speaker has therefore declared a month’s recess in the House which commences from the 17th day of October, 2014.”

But the Speaker’s Special Adviser on Media, Mr. Olujobi puts it this way:

In what seems to be a replay of Rivers and Edo concert of impunity, the defected six members of the APC in Ekiti House of Assembly have perfected plans to announce another Speaker from their camp tomorrow morning. This is official.

Just this afternoon, they were at the Oluyemi Kayode Stadium where they publicly defected to PDP amid boos and shouts of “ole, ole, ole. Onijekuje and ojelu” by members of PDP, their new party that seemed not ready to welcome them to their fold. This humiliating experience forced the last member to stay glued to her seat, apparently afraid to join her colleagues ‎on the podium. She stole out of the stadium in the hail of abuses and insults.

After the stadium humiliation, they met and decided to assert themselves by storming the House tomorrow morning to announce a ne‎w Speaker.

This statement is to alert Ekiti people on those who are stoking the fire of crisis in Ekiti State. Some of the defected members are our brothers and sisters who should be in the vanguard of safeguarding the security and well-being of Ekiti people.

‎Ekiti State is set for another crisis again as seven members plan to lord it over 19 members in a supremacy battle that will set the hands of the clock of progress in our state back.
