Following reports that 24 members of the Oyo State House of Assembly had served impeachment notice on the state governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi, there was tension in the state as security was beefed up in strategic areas in Ibadan, the capital city especially around the Secretariat where the House of Assembly is located. The rumour hit the social media and was aired by a Lagos-headquartered TV station that ’24 lawmakers had signed the impeachment notice to be served on the governor and that the symbol of the House, the Mace, had been taken into the custody of the ’24 lawmakers’ believed to have been working on the project.’
Though the House is on recess and billed to resume on 28th August 2014, the Chairman, Parliamentary Caucus, Honourable Fatai Salam, while addressing newsmen at the Conference Hall of the Assembly complex debunked the rumour saying “the seventh Assembly, since inception, has been enjoying good relationship with each other and has no plan to disrupt the existing peace in the state.” In a related development, a lawmaker of All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Oyo State House of Assembly has said there was no plan to impeach Governor Abiola Ajimobi but that they had issues with the Speaker, Right Honourable Monsurat Sunmonu.
