Ogun Majority Faction Resurfaces, Suspends Titi Oseni, 7 Others
•Passes vote of no confidence on Daniel
From Sheriff Balogun in Abeokuta , 09.14.2010

The leadership crisis rocking Ogun State House of Assembly took another turn yesterday, as Speaker Tunji Egbetokun allegedly suspended by nine lawmakers, resurfaced with the 14 lawmakers in his camp and declared former Speaker of the House and seven others suspended.

Hon. Titi Oseni and Hon. Onasanya Solaja’s seats were also declared indefinitely vacant.
Armed with the mace, the symbol of legislative authority, the Egbetokun faction converged on one primary school auditorium in Terelu Imodi, Ijebu-east Local Government of the state to perform the task.
They first passed a resolution suspending the House rule indefinitely.

The lawmakers resolved that the Group of Nine members along with their elected Speaker Soyemi Coker, and three others namely Edward Ayo-Odugbesan, Tolu Bankole and Abiodun Oluseyi Moses be suspended indefinitely.
However, Musa Moruf, Sunday Kojeku, Adegbesan Joseph and Salmon Adeleke were suspended for three months.

About two weeks ago, the Group of Nine at a location in the state purportedly suspended the 14 lawmakers opposed to Governor Gbenga Daniel and removed Egbetokun as Speaker over allegations of gross misconduct.
They replaced him with Coker representing Odeda state constituency but the move had raised questions as to how the “minority” could remove the “majority”.

The group had also reinstated two of their suspended colleagues, Oseni and Solaja, and then went ahead to approve the N100 billion bond and N26 billion supplementary budget proposed by Daniel but rejected by the Egbetokun-headed leadership of the House.

However, after a week of non-appearance, the majority faction of 14 lawmakers emerged with the resolution to suspend Oseni and Solaja indefinitely and their seats declared vacant in line with Section 109 of the Nigerian Constitution.
The group also passed a vote of no confidence on the governor for allegedly aiding and abetting illegality in the state, mismanaging public funds, sponsoring violence and violent gangs in the state, non-compliance with state laws and the constitution of the country.

Egbetokun said the House also resolved that the state commissioner of police should arrest, prosecute members and others involved in the burglary of the assembly chamber on September 6.
They urged the Inspector-General of Police (IG) and Director of State Security Service (SSS) to beef up security at the assembly complex.

“All purported decisions taken at the illegal sitting of Monday September 6 are hereby declared null and void by the House. The House therefore adjourned sine die,” he added
Contacted to react to the new development last night, the state Commissioner for Information, Hon. Shina Kawonishe, merely said: “We cannot be responding to such loose talk. Are you not aware of the Supreme Court decision and judgment which states unequivocally that any sitting done outside the House of Assembly complex is a nullity.”

i hope gbenga daniel gets impeached.

This is interesting

Even the President failed to resolve it for them.  Anyway Baba is on his way to Abuja this morning.  Honestly Dani should just be impeached.  He has told us that Ogun State is not despirate to have 100b but this appears more than despiration.
