Osun Assembly Dismisses Plot To Rotate Chairmanship Among Traditional Rulers
The Osun State House of Assembly has dismissed reports that it was plotting to rotate the chairmanship among traditional rulers in Osun State.
Speaker of the Assembly, Hon. Adewale Egbedun, said the allegation that the house received and authorised a letter concerning the rotation of chairmanship among traditional rulers in Osun State was false and misleading.
In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Olamide Tiamiyu, the speaker said the publication, circulated by a pseudo Facebook page operating under the name “Ashiwaju Omo Yoruba,” was false, adding that such matter was not presented or contemplated before the House or its Committee on Chieftaincy Matters.
Egbedun said, “This pseudo Facebook page is clearly engaged in deliberate mischief, spreading unfounded information with the intent to mislead the public, provoke unnecessary tension, and undermine the credibility of the Osun State House of Assembly. Such irresponsible actions amount to a calculated attempt to exploit sensitive traditional and cultural issues for ulterior motives.”
The Speaker strongly condemns the conduct and reiterates that the Assembly conducts its affairs strictly in line with constitutional provisions and established legislative procedures.
“Members of the public, particularly the people of Osun State, are therefore, strongly advised to disregard this baseless publication in its entirety. Only statements issued through the official and verified channels of the Osun State House of Assembly should be considered authentic.
“The Speaker remains steadfast in his commitment to truth, transparency, and the protection of the integrity of the House against misinformation and malicious falsehoods,” the statement concluded.
