Former House of Representatives member and former Oyo State Commissioner, Dapo Lam-Adesina, while speaking on a state affairs programme anchored by Edmund Obilo, critlclsed the ongoing bus terminal projects in Oyo State, describing them as a misplacement of priorities.

He argued that the terminals may not deliver meaningful economic value and could eventually suffer from poor maintenance, leading to deterl0ration over time.

Lam-Adesina maintained that although funds have been allocated to key sectors like agriculture, the impact has not been significantly felt, raising concerns about effectiveness and outcomes.

He stressed that critical areas such as healthcare, education, agriculture, and rural development still require stronger attention and more impactful investment.

According to him, with many of these sectors yet to deliver expected results, the focus on bus terminal stations at this time raises questions about the state’s priorities.

I have carefully perused the document titled “Public Announcement” by the Hon member representing Atiba Local Government in the Oyo state House of Assembly and I see myself what damage Idleness could cause an adult mind.

I am not a Legal practitioner but I know that those in that profession would always say that hearsay evidence is equal to rubblsh, fit only for the dustbin.

I could see that in that piece, Oyekola attempted, albeit unsuccessfully, to tarnlsh the image and cast aspersions on the personalities of certain people, Her Excellency, Dr. (Mrs.) Florence Ajimobi inclusive.

We will not set so much in store for an idle mind like Gbenga Oyekola who is also the Chief Whip of the Oyo state House of Assembly.

We will not also help him broadcast his fallacies, except to say that he lacks the locus to give details of certain events which, by his release, he admitted not to be part of.

I don’t know when Gbenga Oyekola became the spokesperson for the Speaker of the Oyo state House of Assembly.

We are also surprised that Gbenga Oyekola have become a Secret Service Agent who now possess the expertise to conduct investigations.

If he hasn’t, how could someone just woke up and begin to make spurious allegations against individuals just because a meeting of the Oyo state House of Assembly held?

You did not tell us that you have the authority of the Speaker to say what you are saying.

You are not the spokesperson for the Oyo state House of Assembly.

You don’t claim to have the authority of the members of the House of Assembly to make your spurious and unsubstantiated allegations.

The Speaker of the Oyo state House of Assembly is alive, hale and hearty.

So, what is your pr0blem?

There are more serious issues about the Government of Governor Seyi Makinde which ought to be catching the attention of the Oyo state House of Assembly.

So much loans approved by the House and another one pending.

So much neglected oversight functions.

No one is interested in the tales by moonlight released by Gbenga Oyekola and we urge him to face his constitutional responsibilities and desist from spreading unfounded allegations.

The lmpeachment conversation in Oyo State is taking another turn.

While several political figures have denied any plot against Governor Seyi Makinde, the Oyo PDP is not backing down. In a recent interview, the party’s Public Relations Officer, Michael Ogunsina, insisted that the allegatl0ns are not baseless, stating clearly that the party has “facts” to support its claims.

Watch the moment he said it.

This comes amid strong pushback from other stakeholders who insist the claims are false, misleading, and politically motivated.

Now, the big question is, if there are truly facts, will they be made public?

As both sides hold their ground, the situation continues to raise eyebrows across the state.

What do you think- do you believe the impeachment claims in Oyo are real?

Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose, has clarified the purpose of his recent visit to the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja, amid ongoing political discussions in Oyo State.

Speaking with journalists after the visit, Fayose said he came to Ibadan to “identify” with the monarch following recent allegatl0ns and public reactions surrounding claims of a possible move against the traditional ruler.

He also referenced his earlier comments on the matter, insisting that his position has remained consistent.

“I came to identify with him (Ladoja) because the latest issue came when I made a revelation on what I heard in Oyo State,” he said.

“Nobody in this country has ever said what Fayose said has been contradicted by his new actions over time.

“So, whatever I say, is either I have the right information from the source or I am privy, one way or the other, to certain activities.”

Fayose then urged Governor Seyi Makinde to tread cautiously in the final days of his administration, warnIng against actions that could create unnecessary political tensl0n or c0ntr0versy.

He added that leaders often face heightened pressure towards the end of their tenure and should avoid decisions that could trigger avoidable conflict.

The Speaker of the Oyo State House of Assembly, RT Hon. Adebo Ogundoyin, has denied allegatl0ns that he received money from All Progressives Congress (APC) proxies to facilitate the impeachment of Governor Seyi Makinde, describing the claim as false and politically motivated.

Responding to the allegation, Ogundoyin said no money exchanged hands at any meeting, insisting the narrative was fabricated to tarnlsh his reputation and destabilise both the executive and legislative arms of government in the state.

“I was presented with enticing offers and opportunities, but I declined without hesitation because nothing can sway my conscience or weaken my loyalty to the Governor, the party, and the people we were elected to serve,” he said.

“I remain fully committed to upholding the integrity of this House and will not be part of any agenda aimed at destabilising the government we built.”

The Speaker stressed that he would never betray the mandate of the people or undermine the administration of Governor Makinde, reaffirming his unwavering loyalty to both the Governor and the ruling party.

He added that no individual or group would succeed in creating division between him and the administration or derailing the collective mandate entrusted to them by the electorate.

Ogundoyin further emphasised that under his leadership, the Assembly remains committed to constitutional order, good governance, and the overall interest of the people. He also noted that he has consistently kept the Governor informed of his engagements.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State has described reports of an alleged lmpeachment plot against Governor Seyi Makinde as a contrived narrative aimed at distracting the public.

The party said the claims were designed to generate undue sympathy for the governor, whom it alleged is facing political decline due to what it termed ego and poor judgment.

The APC’s reaction followed statements by some members of the Oyo State House of Assembly, believed to be loyal to Governor Makinde, who on Tuesday denied involvement in any lmpeachment plot.

The lawmakers had alleged that the purported move was being sponsored by prominent figures, including President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja, and former First Lady of the state, Mrs Florence Ajimobi.

In a statement issued by the party’s Publicity Secretary in the state, Olawale Sadare, the APC dismissed the alleged involvement of President Tinubu and others mentioned in what it described as unsubstantiated claims.

The party further argued that if members of the State House of Assembly had fully discharged their constitutional responsibilities, the governor would have faced lmpeachment earlier, citing what it alleged were multiple instances of ab*se of office since May 2019.

"Gov. Makinde just decided to get some of his yes men to implement a badly written script aimed at offering him a soft landing in the minds of some gullible supporters including those who have put their political future in his hands especially now that it is almost certain that he (Makinde) might not have a political party to sponsor any candidate in the 2027 general elections.

“Sad enough, an informed source had it that the impeachment story was sold to mitigate the effects of the revelation made by the former governor of Ekiti state, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, about the plan to dethrone the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Ladoja (Arusa 1), but the fact remains that no external person is interested in an lmpeachment process against a governor.

The Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja, has dismissed as false claims that he is involved in any plot to unseat Oyo State Governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde.

In a statement issued on Tuesday by his Media Aide, Adeola Oloko, the monarch described the allegation as a fabrication and an attempt to drag the revered throne into partisan politics.

“To say the least, this is a lle,” the statement quoted the monarch as saying.

Oba Ladoja stressed that it was inconceivable for any traditional ruler to be linked with impeachment plots, noting that the constitutional framework does not confer such powers on monarchs.

“You don’t have to be a former governor or distinguished senator to know that a monarch has no power to impeach a local government chairman, not to talk of a state governor,” he said.

The monarch expressed concern over what he described as a growing trend of misinformation, pointing out the contradiction in recent political narratives. He referenced a claim made less than 24 hours earlier by former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, alleging a purported plot to remove the Olubadan, noting that the latest allegati0n now suggests the monarch is plotting against the governor.

“This becomes intriguing. Less than 24 hours ago, it was alleged that the governor was planning to remove the Olubadan. Today, it is the Olubadan who allegedly wants to impeach the governor. So, who is f00ling who?” he queried.

Oba Ladoja cautioned against attempts to politicise traditional institutions, warning that such actions could erode public trust and respect for the monarchy.

He urged the public to disregard the claims and refrain from dra*glng the Olubadan stool into what he described as “dlrty politics.”

Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has renewed his allegatl0n that Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, is plotting to remove the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja.

Fayose made the claim while reacting to unfolding political developments in Oyo State, insisting the alleged plan is already in motion.

“Those who are still in doubt should just keep their fingers crossed and follow unfolding events,” he said on X, doubling down on his earlier position.

He recalled that when he first raised concerns about tensl0ns between the Olubadan and the state government, they were denled.

According to him, fresh allegations are now being levelled against the monarch, including claims of plotting to impeach the governor and being partisan, which he believes are being used to justify a possible disciplinary move.

Fayose described the situation as part of an “orchestration” to create grounds for a formal query against the Olubadan.

Former First Lady of Oyo State and ambassador-designate to Austria, Florence Ajimobi, has dismissed allegati0ns linking her to an alleged financial inducement scheme aimed at influencing members of the Oyo State House of Assembly to impeach Governor Seyi Makinde.

In a statement issued by her media office, Dr. (Mrs.) Ajimobi described the claims as “entirely false, baseless, and a deliberate act of disinformation” designed to tarnish her reputation and mislead the public.

She firmly denied hosting or participating in any meeting in Lagos or elsewhere where discussions on impeachment or the destabilisation of the Oyo State Government were allegedly held.

“At no time did I convene, attend, or participate in any such meeting with any individual or group for the purpose of discussing impeachment or destabilising the Oyo State Government,” the statement read.

She further stated that the allegatl0ns are politically motivated and aimed at discrediting her among residents of Oyo State and beyond.

“Any attempt to associate my name with such a plot is purely mischlev0us and a deliberate act of character assasslnatl0n,” she said.

The former First Lady also clarified that she has no involvement in the affairs of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Oyo State, noting that her focus remains on her humanitarian and professional engagements.

The statement added that some lawmakers, including Hon. Gbenga Oyekola and Deputy Speaker Hon. Abiodun Mohammed Fadeyi, have also denied any involvement in an impeachment plot or receipt of inducements from political actors.

Reaffirming her commitment to peace and stability, Ajimobi urged the public to disregard the circulating reports, warning that the continued spread of false information could attract legal consequences if not retracted.

“I will not be distracted by unfounded and mischievous claims aimed at dragging my name into political controversies,” she added.

14/04/2026

The Oyo State Public Relations Officer of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Michael Ogunsina, has alleged that the Speaker of the Oyo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Adebo Ogundoyin, was offered a substantial financial inducement running into eight figures, alongside a House of Representatives ticket, to influence actions against Governor Seyi Makinde.

Ogunsina raised the allegation while speaking on Dominion Television’s programme, The Agenda, monitored in Ibadan, where he expressed concern over what he described as attempts to destabilise the Makinde-led administration.

He further claimed that the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja, approached the Speaker and urged him to defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC), as part of broader political manoeuvres within the state.

According to him, former First Lady of Oyo State, Florence Ajimobi, is also pushing for the imp*achment of Governor Makinde.

Ogunsina stated that the Speaker was reportedly invited to a meeting in Lagos, where he was encouraged to abandon the PDP for the APC, with an alleged promise of the House of Representatives ticket for Ido/Ibarapa East constituency, an offer he said was declined.

He argued that the alleged actions point to a coordinated effort by influential actors to create tension within the state’s political structure and weaken the relationship between the executive and legislative arms of government.

Ogunsina warned that such developments could undermine stability in the state if not addressed, adding that the PDP was monitoring the situation closely.

Tension is mounting sharply in Oyo State as what began as quiet speculation about an impeachment plot has rapidly evolved into a full-blown political crisis within the State House of Assembly.

What initially appeared to be mere whispers has now crystallised into a serious and potentially destabilising issue, drawing discreet but keen attention from the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC), which is closely monitoring developments.

At the centre of the unfolding drama is a crucial meeting reportedly held at the residence of Governor Seyi Makinde.

Lawmakers were said to convene amid growing concerns over an alleged attempt to create a rift between the legislative and executive arms of government.

In the aftermath of said meeting, members of the Assembly have begun to publicly declare their positions.

While some lawmakers, including the Deputy Speaker, have openly denied any involvement in an impeachment plot, others have remained conspicuously silent, further deepening uncertainty and fuelling speculation of internal divisions.

The chief whip, Hon. Gbenga Oyekola, has emerged as one of the most outspoken figures. In a detailed statement on his verified Facebook account, he firmly denied taking part in any move capable of undermining the peace of the state, stating unequivocally that he was neither invited to nor aware of any such plan.

Oyekola also referenced discussions from the governor’s meeting, disclosing claims that the Speaker had been approached by influential political and traditional figures regarding his future ambitions.

These approaches, he noted, reportedly included financial inducements, offers the Speaker is said to have rejected outright.

Reaffirming his stance, Oyekola pledged unwavering loyalty to Governor Makinde, emphasising his commitment to the administration and to sustaining peace, stability and progress across the state.

His declaration reflected a broader pattern, as several lawmakers have begun publicly aligning themselves with the governor.

Despite these assurances, critical questions remain unresolved. (SWIPE>>>)
