Aproko247 can authoritatively report that the crisis that has rocked the Ogun State House of Assembly since on Tuesday, has now been resolved by the state governor.

A reliably source in Ogun State confirmed to Aproko247 that the state governor, Ibikunle Amosun, in a meeting with the lawmakers on Wednesday morning, intervened in the crisis that has torn the state House of Assembly apart since yesterday and settled the lawmakers’ differences.

The warring parties later agreed to sheath the swords after the meeting with the governor on Wednesday. The Speaker, Hon Suraj Adekunbi, his deputy and Hon Remmy Hazzan with the Executive Governor of the state and all other members of the House including Adija, later posed for a group photograph after the peace meeting held in Abeokuta.

As it stands, the Speaker of the state House of Assembly has been reinstated.

On Tuesday, violence erupted on the floor of the state house with the mace destroyed in the process.

@Aproko247,

Are you saying that aggrieved feelings over the alleged contract inflation, which partly informs the current crisis, have been assuaged?
Or is this simply a case of kicking the can further down the road, in anticipation of faltering memories with the passage of time?

The Speaker of the Ogun State House of Assembly, Suraj Adekunbi, is to appear before the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission on Monday (today) over an alleged N168m car scam.

The Speaker and the other principal officers of the House, our correspondent gathered, were invited to the ICPC Abuja headquarters over an alleged contract inflation in the purchase of 28 Toyota Avensis cars for the 26 members of the Assembly.

The good people of Ogun state will do well to demand an open data approach to all contracts awarded henceforth, as this detente is unlikely to guarantee lasting peace nor greater transparency in public affairs, going by known antecedents.
