Ondo state House of Assembly will investigate the purported passing of vote of no confidence on the Speaker, Olamide Oladiji, the Chairman of the House Committee on Information, Olatunji Oshati has said.
Oshati, who said the no confidence vote on the Speaker by some lawmakers has not been formally brought to the knowledge of the whole house, noted that he only read it on the social media.
While speaking in an interview with newsmen on Wednesday, the Information Committee Chairman stated that while the statement on vote of no confidence on the Speaker was read on the social media, he also read on the same platform, where some of the members listed to have passed the vote of no confidence on the Speaker were debunking it.
According to him: “We need to investigate to know what is actually happening since the purported letter was not signed by any of the petitioners. Promising that we will have a proper mechanism to iron out issues if we have grievances of this nature.
“According to the allegation, l perceived politics, and it should not go to the level of passing vote of no confidence.
“The allegation was about Mr Speaker talking on behalf of the whole House, and until I see the video, l want to believe that the Speaker said eighteen Members who are in APC caucus are for Aiyedatiwa and in the process of probably talking as well mentioned that all members of the house are in support of Aiyedatiwa’s government.
“If not, could he be talking about PDP house members supporting Aiyedatiwa in APC primary, it’s not possible and no person can say such thing when actually it’s practically impossible”.
He informed that when the house reconvene at the parliamentary meeting, the issues will be addressed.
“It is a platform where all members express themselves on any issue and have a way of resolving it.
“That is why I said that if not of politics, any problem of this nature could have been resolved within the house. Look at the impeachment saga then, despite how some members dissociate themselves, we still have a good relationship among ourselves and we didn’t allow it to divide us, and I believe that this one will not divide us as well. We have a way of managing it”, he assured.
