The 32-member Oyo State House of Assembly has suspended legislative duties until the state government pays the accumulated allowances owed the lawmakers. According to information gathered, the government is owing the lawmakers furniture, car allowances and two months running cost for the legislative arm. Due to the strike, the sitting that had earlier been scheduled for yesterday was put on hold. Speaking on condition of anonymity, one of the aggrieved lawmakers said, that despite the cash crunch being experienced in the country, some state governors still manage to settle their lawmakers wondering why they should be the only ones suffering in the whole of the South West. “We understand that the crash in the price of crude oil has brought the economy to its knees. The consequent drop in revenue affects all the 36 states as well as the Federal Government. But in spite of this dire situation, all other governors have sorted out the allowances of their state houses of assembly. Throughout the country, only those of us who are lawmakers in Oyo State are left languishing. “During the last Assembly, in Governor Ajimobi’s first term, cars were bought for all the lawmakers. They were also paid furniture allowances. The running cost of the House was also paid regularly. These allowances are statutory,” he said. He also hinted that the House did not sit last week as a result of the accrued allowances. “Last week, we boycotted sitting to protest lack of concern for our welfare. Without the running cost, the Assembly cannot function. The running cost for the office of the governor is paid regularly. Why is the House left out?” the lawmaker said.

Good for them.I dnt have sympathy for thieves

Last week, we boycotted sitting to protest lack of concern for our welfare. Without the running cost, the Assembly cannot function. The running cost for the office of the governor is paid regularly. Why is the House left out?” the lawmaker said.

Serves them right...Ajimobi na high thief, vote Ladoja, dem nor wan hear
He's throwing wedding parties around the globe while he couldn't even pay salaries.
Shouting for 3rd bail-out when there's no tangible thing he did with the previously-given ones.

Saw the breakdown of Sept. Allocation. The way this Ajimobi guy complains, you'll think the money Oyo state gets is less than a billion... For a Governor that combines LGs' allocation with State's.

This is a good new. But please which allowances are they striking for? And how much is it?

D country is going down, wats happening?

na God go punish them all. where were they when workers in the state are suffering. it is just the beginning of their downfall.

I wonder if this lawmaker does not have cars before or they dont have furnitures in their houses before the state workers are being owed three month salary and the govenor said he will be paying one month out of every three month owed but all this theives went on strike for just two months salary owed God have mercy on ma state
