The embattled Speaker of Ogun State House of Assembly, Mr Olakunle Oluomo, has appeared before the Adhoc Committee that was set up to investigate the allegations leveled against him.
Speaking with journalists after the closed door interaction with the Committee, Mr Oluomo maintained that the meeting ended in a deadlocked.
He said he protested that the committee’s composition was in violation of the standing order of the House.
Oluomo maintained that 5 out of the 8 – member committee were among the petitioners and not eligible to serve in the Adhoc Committee in line with the standing order adopted last year, asserting that the committee members who signed a petition should not be part of the inquiry committee.
He stated that despite the claim that the particular order had been stepped down, he was resolute in challenging the committee’s structure, adding that his appearance before the said committee was borne out of his respect for the rule of law.
