The Oyo State House of Assembly on Wednesday passed a unanimous vote of confidence in Governor Seyi Makinde and Speaker Adebo Ogundoyin, dismissing reports of an alleged impeachment plot in the state.
The resolution was reached during plenary in Ibadan, where lawmakers reaffirmed their support for both the executive and legislative arms of government.
Moving the motion, Majority Leader Sanjo Adedoyin described the rumours as false and politically driven, insisting there was no impeachment move within the House.
He said, “The Assembly remains united and committed to its constitutional responsibilities, and no formal communication or process suggesting impeachment has been initiated within the chamber.”
Lawmakers also dismissed recent political speculations linking Governor Makinde, the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Ladoja, and some legislators to alleged political plots, describing the claims as unfounded.
The allegations had earlier been made publicly by former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, but were denied by both the state government and the palace.
At Wednesday’s sitting, Deputy Speaker Mohammed Fadeyi seconded the motion, describing the House as united and praising Makinde’s administration for achievements in infrastructure, education, and healthcare.
Chief Whip Gbenga Oyekola also denied any impeachment discussions, warning those behind the rumours to desist.
“There is no division in this House. We are focused on governance and delivering democratic dividends to the people of Oyo State through quality representation,” he said.
He added that the Assembly would not be swayed by any individual or group, reaffirming continued support for both Makinde and Ogundoyin.
