The Speaker of the Ondo State House of Assembly, Olamide Oladiji, has rejected impeachment efforts by 12 lawmakers, claiming the allegations are baseless and politically motivated. The Assembly is divided, with 14 members supporting the Speaker and 12 dissenting lawmakers, led by Olajide Oguntolu, accusing him of financial mismanagement and demanding transparency. Oladiji refuted these claims, stating he does not handle Assembly funds directly and that the dissenters' grievances are personal. Oguntolu insisted the impeachment is about integrity and unrelated to the governor, resulting in a deepening division within the Assembly.
