Did you read the article at all (see below) to understand why the Ogun assembly has done this ? This is simply nothing short of exemplary conduct from the Ogun assembly !!! We should put archaic political practices behind us where Politicians are guilty of gross misconduct in office yet they are able to be recycled in future !!! This is fantastic from the Ogun assembly and I am proud of them . The grey area , and perhaps the lawyers in the house can help us, is wether the FG is bound to comply with the directive of the Ogun assembly . Certainly the Ogun legislators should be well within their power to insist Daniel and others , guilty of gross misconduct, should never hold public office in Ogun State but I am not sure if the FG has to comply.


Daniel’s sins, according to the OGHA, is that he did not only instigate the pre-dawn contravention of the orders of the OGHA by eight minority lawmakers led by Soyemi Coker last September 6, but also committed state resources into the "inglorious" project to the tune of N167.5m.

The House said it discovered upon investigation by a 10-man panel, headed by the Deputy Speaker, Mr Remmy Hazzan (Odogbolu), that Daniel released the said sum to the minority lawmakers between September 6, 2010 and May 2011 for their "illegal sittings" and "illegal decisions" through the Accountant- General (A-G) of the state.

The former governor was nominated for inclusion in the dreaded Black Book by Hon. Olawale Hassan Alausa, representing Ijebu-Ode state constituency, and he was supported by Hon. Abiodun Akovoyon (Ipokia) as the House wound up the Sixth Legislative Assembly around 4:52 pm yesterday.

In justifying the nomination, Alausa posited that it would amount to a miscarriage of justice if the eight minority lawmakers have their names listed on the OGHABB while that of the "architect" and "financier" is left out.

When subjected to voice vote on the floor of the Assembly by Speaker Tunji Egbetokun, all the G-15 lawmakers supported the inclusion of Daniel’s name on the OGHABB for allegedly aiding and abetting the overthrow of an arm of government through "unconstitutional" means.

Others who made the OGHABB list and were equally barred from holding any public office in Ogun State or elsewhere in Nigeria were the eight lawmakers loyal to Daniel.

They are Hon. Bakenne Fasiu Adewale (Abeokuta South), Ayo-Odugbesan Edwards (Ijebu North), Adegbesan Joseph, Coker Soyemi Emmanuel, Kojeku David Sunday and Bankole Durotolu.

The affected lawmakers were declared "personal non grata, unfit for any public office anywhere in the Federal Republic of Nigeria" and were recommended for "further investigation and prosecution by the EFCC and the ICPC."
