He was denying us money, so we impeached him – Ogun lawmakers

Further information on the events leading to the impeachment of Hon. Kunle Oluomo, the Speaker of the Ogun State House of Assembly, has come to light.

According to ZINGTIE, Hon. Oludaisi Elemide was named the new Speaker in Oluomo’s place after he was impeached on Tuesday.

Oluomo had also been facing accusations of anything from financial wrongdoing to subpar state Assembly leadership.

Clarifying the situation further, Hon. Soneye Damilola Kayode of the Obafemi Owode Constituency claimed Oluomo had made up the claim that the governor, Dapo Abiodun, was not providing funding to the House.

Members, according to Kayode, discovered that the Speaker had been providing them with financial support while failing to notify them of this.

He said that Oluomo embezzled the funds that the governor had given him on behalf of the lawmakers.

Oluomo, he said, was always instigating members against one another.

“We never wanted him, but the leadership of the party thought he was a former Speaker, so we should allow him to continue as a Speaker. We all agreed as faithful party persons.

“Now the situation is: Oluomo will go everywhere; he will come to us as members and tell us the governor has not approved for us any money, the governor has not given us any money, and that we should manage.

“We keep managing. We later found out that the governor had been giving us money. He takes a memo to the governor, the governor gives him money, and he comes back to tell us he did not give him any money.

“Let me give you a good example of this: the quarters allowance. When we came back, the governor gave us money for renovation. Oluomo took the remaining one and embezzled it.

“Now, 18 of us came together and said we cannot be the same. How can we manage our future? He keeps inciting members against each other. This is so bad we cannot take it any more.

“We have now changed the leadership of the House. The House is now under the leadership of Hon Elemide and we remain the same. He (Oluomo) should go and clear his name with the EFCC.”
