N4.3bn Secret Cash: Lamakers speak on ‘plot’ to impeach Akeredolu

Ondo State House of Assembly lawmakers have rubbished insinuations making the rounds that they were in the process of impeaching the Governor over the discovery of N4.3b hidden in a Zenith bank account.

They said they have cordial relationship with the Executive arm of government headed by the Governor.

Chairman of the House Committee on Media and Information, Hon. Olugbenga Omole, in a press statement in Akure the State capital denied reports that the residential quarters of the Speaker of the House, Hon Bamidele Oleyelogun, was besieged by the security operatives.

According to the statement, “There was no plan to commence impeachment moves against the Governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Odunayo Akeredolu.

“The news making the rounds that the Speaker’s Lodge was under seige is a hoax and the imagination of those behind it.

“The lodge was never under seige. The armed Policemen sighted there were at some distance away and were there to maintain peace, law and order.

“On the issue of the N4.3b under scrutiny, all relevant documents should be submitted to the Committee on Public Account and Committee on Finance and Appropriation respectively”.
