NGThe Ondo State House of Assembly is facing a crisis as lawmakers accuse Speaker Mr Olamide Oladiji of preventing regular plenary sessions, which they claim has not occurred more than five times this year. The dispute began when 21 out of 26 members signed an impeachment motion against the Speaker over allegations of financial misconduct involving N44 million in budget reallocation. Lawmakers allege that the Speaker is suppressing plenary sittings, leading to frustration and calls for his resignation. In response, the Speaker denies the claims, stating that parliamentary sittings are conducted regularly and that the term 'plenary' is being misused. The situation highlights internal tensions within the assembly regarding governance practices and accountability.
Bias read (Progressive): The article frames the conflict as a legitimate challenge to the Speaker's authority based on constitutional principles and transparency. It emphasizes the lawmakers' grievances about irregular plenary sessions and the alleged misuse of power, presenting these as valid concerns rather than partisan鬧
