The Speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, Dele Olugbemi, has described the comments credited to the former speaker, Adewale Omirin, condemning the passage of the 2015 Appropriation Bill as a ruse.
Olugbemi, who spoke through his Media Adviser, Mr Femi Iroko, urged Omirin and his day dreamers to wake up to the realities on ground.
“We are amused when people that have been removed from office, and who are in court challenging their removal and whose case has not been decided, woke up from the wrong sides of their beds and claim they are faulting an action taken by a legal and constitutional group.
“We sat in the hallowed chamber of the Ekiti State House of Assembly and received the bill from the duly elected governor of the state and worked on the bill in the constitutionally-designated venue for the sittings of an honourable house. Let Omirin tell the world where he and his co-travellers sat to take their wild decisions.
“Legislative matters are serious matters and not what a disgruntled set of people would go and sit in the parlour of a godfather and take decisions that can never be binding. Omirin and his group are free to call a family meeting for Aisegba-Ekiti and think they are not deluding themselves.
“Omirin alleged that newsmen were chased away from our sittings, that is not true and moreover, let him mention one instance when he called the world media to come and witness how the Assembly would pass a law when he was in office.
“We advise him and his group to stop their belly-aches and accept the fact that Ekiti people will not allow them to hold the progress and future of their dear state to ransom because they want to satisfy their paymasters,” he said.
