The House wants the security agencies in the State to immediately secure the Secretariat of the union in the State to avoid breach of public peace.
The Assembly’s resolution followed a motion moved by the Majority Leader, Hon. Yusuf Sheriff (APC, Ado-Odo/Ota1) seconded by the Minority Whip, Jemili Akingbade (APC, Imeko/Afon) and supported by the Whole House through a voice vote at a plenary presided over by the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Olakunle Oluomo at the hallow Chamber of the Assembly, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta.
According to the resolution, the Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun should set up a committee of experienced Unionists to be monitored by the House Committee on Transportion with a view to handling the Union’s operational week for the purpose of revenue collection to government’s coffers, pending the resolution of the leadership tussle within the union in the State.
The Assembly action followed the earlier presentation by a member representing Odeda State Constituency and Chairman, House Committee on Transportation, Hon. Oludaisi Elemide (APC, Odeda), who spoke under Personal Explanation, intimating the Assembly of the ongoing leadership crisis between two factions within the union, leading to series of petitions to the Assembly.
Hon Elemide stressed that such conflict was capable of disrupting the existing peace being enjoyed in the State, urging the State House of Assembly to take an urgent step to stem it before it degenerates in the interest of the members of the general public.
The Speaker, Olakunle Oluomo (APC, Ifo 1), corroborated the position by noting that the Assembly had received series of complaints from different quarters on the impending breach of peace and tranquility being enjoyed in the State due to the power struggle between the two factions of the union
