There was tension on Friday morning at the Ondo State House of Assembly, following the heavy presence of security operatives at the Assembly complex and the purported resignation of the Speaker of the state Assembly, Hon David Bamidele Oleyelogun.
The Speaker’s resignation, which was addressed to the Clerk of the House and dated 1st June 2023, read: “Please permit me to inform you that I, Rt. Hon. Oleyelogun, Bamidele David ceases to function as Speaker of the Ondo State House of Assembly. This follows my decision to resign from the position with effect from today.
However, denying the purported resignation, Oleyelogun said the letter does not emanate from him, saying there was no cause or reason to resign, especially when the lawmakers are winding down.
Oleyelogun said, “The letter in question is not from me. I cannot resign my appointment today that is the last day that we are closing the Assembly. Nothing warranted that.
