Lagos Lawmaker To Pay N.3m To Colleagues For Reciting Yoruba Alphabet by U09ce: 8:08am On Apr 09, 2013
A Lagos lawmaker representing Ifako-
Ijaiye Constituency 2, Hon Ipoola
Omisore, has been directed by the
Speaker of the House, Hon Adeyemi
Ikuforiji to pay three of his colleagues
a sum of N100,000 each with a threat
to withdraw the money from his
imprest if he failed to pay.
Omisore during plenary session
yesterday pledged to pay N100, 000 to
any member who could recite the
Yoruba alphabets without blabbing.
Omisore’s made the pledge when the
member representing Shomolu
Constituency 1, Rotimi Olowo, blabbed
while trying to point out an error in
the votes and proceedings paper of the
last sitting, which was written in
Yoruba Language.
Olowo’s error got Omisore bothered as
he stood up to inform the Speaker that
such an act should not be condoned.
According to him, lawmakers should
be able to recite alphabets in Yoruba
language. I want to throw this
challenge that I will give a N100, 000
to any member who can recite the
alphabet without blabbing.”
The Deputy Leader of the House, Lola
Akande, took up the challenge and
recited the alphabets from the
beginning to the end without
committing any error.
The speaker also called on members
representing Ikorodu Constituency 2
and Badagry Constituency 2, Adebimpe
Akinsola and Suuru Avoseh
respectively,who also recited the
alphabets perfectly.
The Speaker, therefore, ruled that
Omisore should pay the three
members a sum of N100,000 each, and
should he fail to do so by today, the
money would be deducted from his
imprest.
Though, Omisore later protested that
he only offered to pay just a member,
the Speaker insisted that he would pay
the three members who recited the
alphabets perfectly, and ordered the
Clerk of the House, Segun Abiru to
deduct the money from Omisore’s
imprest if he failed to pay the
lawmakers involved.
