The Deputy Speaker of the Ondo State House of Assembly who also represents the Odigbo Constituency I, Mr Iroju Ogundeji, shares his thoughts with PETER DADA about his recent suspension by the assembly and the forthcoming election in the state.The Ondo State House of Assembly was on recess until a week ago, when the speaker invited the lawmakers for a COVID-19 screening, shortly after the governor personally announced that he had contracted the disease.
Meanwhile, some of us had got wind of the impeachment move before they brought it to the floor of the house. On several occasions, they had attempted wooing me to join them; they even invited me to Ekiti State and talked to me. I told them that I couldn’t do anything that would run contrary to the dictate of my conscience. I told them I wouldn’t be one of the people that would sign the impeachment notice.
The speaker later asked the clerk of the house to read a letter, which purportedly emanated from a parliamentary meeting that was not held. The letter stated that myself and two other colleagues, Favour Tomomewo and Adewinle, had been suspended from office. As a result, he said we should not come near the premises of the assembly. He said we were suspended indefinitely.
The deputy governor has left the APC to join the Peoples Democratic Party. Some of you that are not supporting the impeachment plan are members of the APC. Is it right for you to support a PDP member?
