Earlier on Friday, the former Speaker of the Ondo State House of Assembly, Mr. Bamidele Oloyeloogun, vehemently denied authorship of a purported resignation letter.
The letter, dated 1 June 2023 and addressed to the Clerk of the House, asserted that the speaker had resigned. Oloyeloogun quickly issued a statement refuting the letter’s authenticity, claiming that it was a forgery and did not originate from him or the House of Assembly. His response was contained within a statement titled ‘I Remain Speaker of the Ondo State House of Assembly.’
The situation necessitated increased security measures around the assembly location to ensure the continuity of legislative activities.
