The Oyo State House of Assembly on Wednesday passed a unanimous vote of confidence in Governor Seyi Makinde and Speaker Adebo Ogundoyin, rejecting claims of an impeachment plot. The resolution came during plenary in Ibadan, where lawmakers formally dismissed circulating rumours as unfounded. Majority Leader Sanjo Adedoyin, who moved the motion, described the allegations as "baseless, distracting, and politically motivated," stressing that no formal impeachment process had been initiated. He affirmed the Assembly's unity and commitment to constitutional duties. Deputy Speaker Mohammed Fadeyi seconded the motion, praising Makinde's administration for achievements in infrastructure, education, and healthcare. Chief Whip Gbenga Oyekola denied any internal divisions, stating the rumours existed only in speculation and should be disregarded. Lawmakers also dismissed recent political narratives linking Makinde, the Olubadan of Ibadanland Oba Rashidi Ladoja, and certain legislators to alleged plots, calling them unfounded. The Assembly reiterated full support for both the executive and legislative leadership, warning those spreading the rumours to desist.
The Oyo Assembly claims unity while publicly rebutting whispers it insists have no basis, raising questions about why such targeted denials were necessary in the first place. If no impeachment discussion had occurred, the Chief Whip would not have needed to issue a categorical dismissal of division within the chamber. The Olubadan's inclusion in the alleged plot, despite no statement from his palace in the report, places a traditional figure in a political narrative he did not enter. Lawmakers' insistence on public loyalty suggests tensions may exist beneath the surface, even if unacknowledged officially.
