The Speaker of Oyo State House of Assembly, Rt Hon. Adebo Edward Ogundoyin has fired back over suspicion of colleagues in an allegation of procuring refurbished official cars and subsequently dissolved House Standing Committees with no substantial reasons.

This accusation of procurement of refurbished official cars that aggregates to sum of #1.03b had warranted Speaker’s invitation by the officials of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC) for an interrogation and drilling over a petition in respect of alleged official cars.

Findings conducted by naijatodaynews.com revealed that Adebo Ogundoyin has not been finding it easy since the commencement of his interrogation by EFCC as he has been suspecting some honourable colleagues as the ones who orchestrated the presentation of petition to EFCC which triggered his constant drilling by the Anti Graft Agency.

Ogundoyin was said to have made an undisclosed travelling to United States of America(USA) for sallah celebration but instantly jetted into the country while he was briefed by his allies among the lawmakers over convergence of plenary session, which he perceived of what could happen in his absence.

In his own resolution at the plenary session he presided on Thursday, Ogundoyin has announced the immediate dissolution of all House Standing Committees.

The Speaker announced the dissolution of all the 36 Standing Committees shortly before the adjournment of Thursday plenary.

He said newly constituted Standing Committees will be announced in due course.

The Speaker however did not give any reason for the dissolution.

Hon Ogundoyin said “Standing Committees are one of the pillars of the Legislature and the House of Assembly . This is our 2nd Year in office. We are expected to re-evaluate our position, we are expected to be more efficient and effective in our duties as Legislators in terms of oversight and Lawmaking as well as other functions of the Legislators. When new Committees are constituted, it will allow members to have new experiences and ultimately widen their horizon, “

According to the Speaker, the dissolution is a normal practice in the parliament as it helps to sharpen the process and the procedures.

He assured that all ten outstanding bills yet to be done will be handled by adhoc Committees.

” When we complete the ten outstanding bills, it will make it a total of seventy-three bills passed within the spate of just two years by the 9th Assembly. This would have surpassed the record of the previous Assembly. The 8th Assembly was only able to pass fifty-three bills in four years. You can imagine how many bills will be passed by us in four years. We are setting high standard and enviable precedence for incoming Assemblies. ” Oyo Speaker said.

He appreciated all the members of the House of Assembly who served in the just dissolved Committees, adding that the successes and achievements recorded by the Assembly in the last two years were made possible because of their hard work, dedication and all round commitment.
