Nigeria's State Assemblies Clear Speaker Removal Allegations

The Ogun House of Assembly voted to clear former Speaker Olakunle Oluomo of an embezzlement allegation tied to his 2024 removal and formally converted his impeachment into a resignation, citing lack of evidence.

In Ondo State, the Assembly refuted claims that Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa influenced the move to remove Speaker Olamide Oladiji, saying the crisis stemmed from a disputed OSOPADEC budget resolution and was an internal legislative matter.
