Ogun Impeachment
OpenLife Nigeria reports that the Speaker of Ogun State House of Assembly, Olakunle Oluomo, was on Tuesday impeached by 18 out of 26 members of the legislative arm during the house sitting presided over by the Deputy Speaker, Mrs Bolanle Ajayi (APC-Yewa South).
Oluomo, representing Ifo State Constituency was impeached over allegations of gross misconduct, highhandedness, lack of focus and transparency, financial misappropriation and pursuit of selfish interests.
The erstwhile speaker was reportedly at the June 12 Cultural Centre, Kuto Abeokuta attending the swearing-in of customary court judges a few metres away to the assembly complex, Governors Office, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta when his colleagues moved against him.
The Assembly also elected Oludaisi Elemide (APC-Odeda) as the new speaker.
There were also reports of shootings by some security officers loyal to Oluomo who our correspondent gathered tried to stop the impeachment.
Adegoke Awoso (APC-Yewa North 1), moved the motion for the impeachment of Oluomo while it was seconded by Ademola Adeniran another APC lawmaker representing Sagamu Constituency II.
Adeyanju, popularly called Awoso had reportedly entered the assembly chamber with the mace in the company of other lawmakers
Recall that the impeached speaker is standing trial over financial misappropriation of N2bn.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission had in September 2022 filed an 11-count charge bordering on conspiracy, forgery and stealing against Oluomo, and three other staff members of the legislative arm.
The charge was filed by the EFFC’s Lagos Head of Legal Monitoring Unit, Rotimi Oyedepo, at the Federal High Court, Abeokuta.
The Speaker had however maintained his innocence saying that he would eventually be vindicated of the fraud charges.
Speaking to newsmen after being elected as the new speaker, Elemide said the people of the state should expect the best from him.
“We are law-abiding legislators. We want the world to know that there has been a change in leadership.
“18 members signed for me to be the speaker. People should remain calm. We are in the custody of all the authorities of the house. We are saying that the new leadership will support the governor.
“The governor does not know anything about this impeachment,” he said.
Also speaking to newsmen, Mr Damilola Soneye (APC-Obafemi Owode), noted that the office of the speaker is meant to be first among equals.
“The speaker was impeached due to gross misconduct which includes high handedness, lack of focus and transparency, arrogance and poor leadership style, financial misappropriation and inciting members against themselves,” he said.
The Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Alamutu, also visited the assembly complex to ensure law and order.
This is just as Awoso alleged that policemen shot at the tyre of his car while claiming to be searching for guns said to be in his car.
He said “The police shot at my tyre, they said they were searching for arms which a member claimed was in my car and by the time they searched everywhere including the engine, they found nothing.
“I am embarrassed to have been treated with such disrespect and disdain as if one is a common criminal. ”
The Commissioner for police, however, said that he was at the Assembly to ensure law and order
Alamutu said, “We are here to ensure law and order and we also picked up the information that arms were kept inside one of the cars at the Assembly Complex but it has been searched and nothing of such was found.”
The house has adjourned sitting for a week.
In all of this however, it is just the first month in 2024 but Nigerian prophet, Primate Elijah Ayodele has recorded a handful of fulfilled prophecies from his revelations for the new year which he released on Friday, 22nd Of December, 2023.
Although, this isn’t a strange happening; Primate Ayodele has nothing less than 15,000 prophecies that have been fulfilled, all Glory to God almighty.
He is the only prophet who has the largest number of released and fulfilled prophecies and this is because his prophecies come to pass mostly immediately he shares them.
He releases prophecies almost every day and yearly, his prophecies for the New Year runs to about 90-pages.
As earlier said he has recorded a good number of 2024 prophecies that have come to pass barely one month after and below are the most recent ones that have also been fulfilled:
Clearly, the impeachment of Ogun State House of Assembly Speaker, Honourable Kunle Oluomo is an addition to the list.
Primate Ayodele in his 90-page prophecy for 2024 made it known on Page 17 that he foresees the removal of some honourable speakers of some state house of assembly. He called for prayers to avert this occurrence.
These were his words:
‘’I foresee that the Upper Legislative house and the Senate will lose a prominent member and also the House of Representative. Let us commit the current members of the Senate and members of the States House of Assembly into prayers against sudden death. Let us pray not to witness the removal from office of some Honourable Speakers. I foresee that not all the Senators in the current session will finish their terms in office.’’
2 Plateau Crisis: There seems to be a religious crisis in Plateau state at the moment and this has led to the governor declaring a 24-hour curfew.
The Church of Christ In Nations (COCIN) was set ablaze in the area. It has been learnt that rampaging armed men are currently torching church buildings and attacking those perceived to be Christians in Mangu.
Still in his 2024 prophecies, Primate Ayodele asked the country to pray against ethnic and religious crises.
‘’Let us pray against ethnic and religious crises in Nigeria. Let us pray so that no Police station will be set ablaze. Let us rebuke what can cause the beheading of any Policeman even as I foresee that an attack on a Military Base is imminent.’’ (Page 23)
