Ondo Assembly in Crisis Over Impeachment Plot Amid Budget Controversy
The Ondo State House of Assembly is embroiled in a political crisis with lawmakers divided into factions seeking to impeach Speaker Olamide Oladiji over a contentious supplementary budget of ₦531.7 billion. The discord escalated following clashes between the ruling party and the opposition PDP, accusing Governor Lucki Aiyedatiwa of mismanagement and lack of transparency.
Lawmakers allege gross misconduct by the Speaker, including misappropriation of funds, breaching constitutional provisions, and violating public trust. The conflict stems from dissatisfaction with the budget introduced by Governor Aiyedatiwa close to the fiscal year-end without proper consultation, raising concerns about fiscal responsibility and transparency.
