Assembly Constitutes Panel To Probe Aregbesola by Nobody: 6:55am On Jul 17, 2015 |
The Osun State House of Assembly is divided
over the composition of an ad hoc committee to
investigate the allegations of financial
recklessness levelled against Governor Rauf
Aregbesola by Justice Folahanmi Oloyede.
Oloyede, a serving judge in Osun State Judiciary,
had written a petition to the House against the
governor asking the lawmakers to impeach him
based on the allegations contained in her petition.
The Speaker of the House, Mr. Najeem Salaam, on
Thursday inaugurated a seven-man committee
headed by the Deputy Speaker, Mr. Akintunde
Adegboye. He stated that they had two weeks to
investigate the matters and report back to the
House.
Although the ruling All Progressives Congress has
24 lawmakers out of the 26 members in the
House, none of the two Peoples Democratic Party
lawmakers was included in the committee.
When asked why the House excluded lawmakers
from the opposition party in the committee, the
Speaker explained that the House of Assembly
was one as there was no division among the
legislators along party lines.
The Speaker said that it would be necessary for
the petitioner and the governor to appear before
the committee which would sit in camera.
He expressed the confidence that the committee
would do a thorough job and send their report to
the House where every lawmaker would have an
opportunity to comment on their findings.
He said, “I acknowledge that the whole world is
waiting for what we have to do with the petition
forwarded to us by Justice Folahanmi Oloyede. I
must disclose to you that Governor Rauf
Aregbesola has obliged us his response to the
petition and we have constituted a committee to
look into the matter with a view to investigating
the allegations levelled against him and I am
confident that the honourable men in this
committee would do justice to the matter before
them without fear or favour.
“The House stands as one; there is no opposition
in the House. We are one, we see ourselves as
one.
“The two of them – the judge and the governor –
will be invited separately. Some of them can
employ the services of lawyers but their physical
appearance will be necessary. This will allow
them to give evidence to back up their positions if
they have any.”
But the Minority Leader, Mr. Oladejo Makinde, a
PDP member, who represents Ife Central at the
House, kicked against the exclusion of the
members of the PDP from the committee.
While speaking with journalists after the
inauguration of the committee, Makinde said he
disagreed with the explanation of the Speaker,
saying there was no way the ‘lopsided committee’
would be transparent against Aregbesola who is
also from the ruling party. http://www.punchng.com/news/assembly-constitutes-panel-to-probe-aregbesola/ cc lalasticlala |

IGG (initial Gra Gra), they just want to fulfil all righteousness, it is known fact that Aregbesola installed the last and present house members. Although the ruling All Progressives Congress has 24 lawmakers out of the 26 members in the House, none of the two Peoples Democratic Party lawmakers was included in the committee.Why?. The Speaker said that it would be necessary for the petitioner and the governor to appear before the committee which would sit in cameraAnother reason why the exercise is just to show that they are working. |

It is well with our nation. Osun people have succeeded in "installing" a monster as a governor, and "hypocrites" as honourables." 2 Likes 1 Share |
