Armed security men have beefed up security at the Ondo State House of Assembly Complex at Alagbaka Akure today, Friday, as at the time of filing this report all members are at complex to hold their final sitting.
The action of the policemen and others may not be unconnected with a suspected fake letter purportedly indicating that the outgoing Speaker, Hon. Bamidele Oleyelogun, has resigned. The speaker has debunked the report.
It was gathered that the two gates of the assembly complex were blocked by armed security men.
When contacted on telephone, the Chairman, House Committee on Information, Hon Olugbenga Omole confirmed that armed security men are at the Assembly that supposed to hold its final sitting today Friday.
Omole dismissed insinuation that the Speaker had resigned, adding that the signature of Oleyelogun was forged on a fake letter in circulation.
The outgoing Spokesman of the House said there are plots to scuttle the last sitting of the 9th Assembly.
I REMAIN SPEAKER OF THE ONDO STATE HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY —OLEYELOGUN
This is to notify the general public that,I Rt Hon Oleyelogun Bamidele David did not resign my position as the Speaker of the House.
The purported letter of resignation which is in circulation is the handiwork of the fifth Columists who are bent on throwing Ondo State into anarchy, particularly the House of Assembly.
The purported resignation is no doubt the the figment of the imagination of the peddlers of such heinous act as l did not contemplate or discussed such move with any member of the Assembly or family members. Let me tell members of the public that the purported letter of resignation did not emanate from me as it was forged by purveyors of such letter.
The Clerk of the House,Mr.Benjamin Jaiyeola (ESQ) has informed me that he did not receive any letter of resignation which has given credence to the fact that the faceless writer is not informed of the process through which such weighty exercise can take.
I have not informed the Executive Arm of Government of such resignation and I urge my Honourable Colleagues, Staffers of the House of Assembly, Members of my Constituency to disregard the letter in its entirety and also urge the Security Agencies to investigate this false and malicious letter that has emanated from the enemies who are working against the existing peace in the State.
Signed
Rt.Hon.Oleyelogun Bamidele David
Speaker,Ondo State House of Assembly.
