Oyo State House of Assembly during plenary yesterday passed a vote of confidence in the Gov. Seyi Makinde.
The vote of confidence in Makinde and the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Adebo Ogundoyin, followed unfounded rumors of impeachment plots of the two principal officers in the state.
NAN reports that the resolution followed a session where lawmakers reaffirmed their support for the executive under Makinde and legislative leadership under Ogundoyin.
The Majority Leader of the House, Mr Sanjo Adedoyin, representing Ogbomoso South State Constituency, moved the motion during the plenary sitting.
Adedoyin said that the Assembly remained united and committed to its constitutional duties, stressing that there had been no formal communication or move toward impeachment within the chamber.
He described purveyors of the speculation as enemies of the state, commending the House for not succumbing to what he termed ‘evil plot planned to destabilize a performing government led by Makinde.
“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.
“The rumors making the rounds exist only in the realm of speculation and should be disregarded in its entirety by the public”, he said.
The Deputy Speaker, Mr Mohammed Fadeyi, who seconded the motion, described the state legislature as a“Unified House“.
Fadeyi commended Gov. Makinde for the steady leadership and people-oriented policies, particularly in infrastructure development, education, and health sectors.
Mr Gbenga Oyekola, representing Atibaa State Constituency, said that the House could not be bought nor used by anybody.
Oyekola called on those behind such evil plot to desist reaffirming the loyalty of the House to the governor and the leadership of Ogundoyin.
In his remark, Ogundoyin said that the legislative remains uncompromised as speculated.
“Just a word of advice to political actors, they must understand that the mandate of the people cannot be stolen or suppressed by anybody anywhere.
“We’ve discussed this as a House and I’m saying it publicly, the House has absolute confidence in the leadership of Makinde as evidently proven over the years.
“We’re partners in progress and we will see out this administration together.
“By God’s grace, in May 2027, we shall celebrate Makinde’s successor under Omititun 3.0. and the state shall continue to enjoy good governance under the Sustainable Development Agenda contained in the economic blueprints of the governor”, he said.
