RESOLUTION OF VOTE OF CONFIDENCE BY FOURTEEN (14) MEMBER ONDO STATE HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY

WHEREAS, the Speaker did not divert the sum of Fifty Million Naira (N50,000,000.00) as alleged.
WHEREAS, majority of the Hon. Members that passed the vote of no confidence are perpetual absentees at Parliamentary meetings, Plenary Sittings and other activities of the House because they reside more outside the country.

WHEREAS, the alleged claim of misappropriation of monthly operational grants of the House was borne out of malice bereft of facts.
