I was illegally impeached as Ekiti Speaker by Police backed Lawmakers – Oluwawole

By -


The Speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Kola Oluwawole, has described his purported impeachment on Thursday as a rape on democracy and
a descent to lowest level of lawlessness and illegality.

According to a statement by his Special Assistant on Media, Stephen Gbadamosi, Oluwawole said those who carried out the illegality were provided police cover and
they prevented other members and even staff of the

House from gaining entrance into the complex.

He said: “This is bizarre! In a democracy? This is the height of illegality and it can never stand. As the Speaker of the House, I supervised over the last adjournment of the House, which was carried out according to laws and laid down rules.

“I retain the power to reconvene the House and i have not done that yet. How then can some people say the House sat? This is totally illegal. The role of the police
in this siege is clear. It was enemies of democracy that purported the House sat. Ekiti State House of Assembly has not been reconvened by its speaker.”

Oluwawole called on well meaning Nigerians and relevant institutions to condemn the act he described as
“rape on democracy and another desecration of the legislative arm of government.”

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo: A Pastor Only By Name Says Fem Fani Kayode

No matter how hard he tries to make it look as if it is no big deal and no matter how much he ignores it and tries to brush it under the carpet, the 5.8 billion naira scandal in which the House of Representatives have indicted Vice President Yemi Osinbajo for theft, larceny, diversion, misapplication and misappropiation will not go away. No matter how much he tries to wash himself with his self-righteous soap and brush, the filthy stench of corruption and abuse of office will never leave him. No matter how many open markets he visits in a blaze of publicity and in a desperate attempt to prove that he is a man of the people, the bloated flies that customarily trail filth, garbage, open sewers and rejected goods will continue to follow him and raise fundamental questions about his infantile claim to holiness, infallibility and sainthood. Some have erroneously argued that Osinbajo could not have stolen the 5.8 billion or indulged in any form of wrongdoing because he is a Pastor. ...
