Ondo Assembly lawmakers pass vote of no confidence on Speaker
Ondo State House of Assembly Speaker Olamide Oladiji faces impeachment proceedings after 12 of 26 lawmakers passed a vote of no confidence, citing gross misconduct and misappropriation of funds. The lawmakers accuse Oladiji of diverting funds, including N50 million allocated for a public hearing and monthly operational grants. They've requested an EFCC investigation and prosecution. The crisis stems from disagreements over Governor Aiyedatiwa’s N531 billion supplementary budget. Oladiji is accused of pushing the budget despite concerns about the performance of the existing budget. An aide to the Speaker dismissed the impeachment threat as a "political storm in a teacup."
