A group of twelve Ondo state house of assembly members has initiated impeachment proceedings against Olamide Oladiji, the speaker, accusing him of diverting N50 million meant for a public hearing and misappropriating the house’s monthly operational funds.
The lawmakers, in a resolution titled ‘Vote of no confidence and notice of removal of the speaker’ dated November 13, 2025, alleged that Oladiji’s actions violated several constitutional provisions, including the fifth and seventh schedules of the 1999 constitution, the ICPC Act, and the Criminal Code.
Citing section 92(4)(c) of the constitution, the group called on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to investigate and prosecute the speaker if necessary.
The impeachment move was spearheaded by Jide Oguntodu (Akure south I), Temitope Komolafe (Ifedore), Fatai Atere (Akoko north-west I), Toyin Japhet (Akoko north-east), Raymond Daodu (Akoko south-west I), Samuel Ifabiyi (Odigbo I), Babatunde Fasonu (Odigbo II), Oluwatosin Ogunlowo (Idanre), Afe Felix (Akoko north-west II), Nelson Akinsuroju (Ile Oluji/Oke-Igbo), Akinruntan Abayomi (Ilaje I), and Stephen Abitogun (Akure south II).
In response, Oladiji claimed the lawmakers were targeting Lucky Aiyedatiwa, governor of Ondo state, a charge the legislators dismissed as “false” and “politically motivated”.
Speaking for the group, Temitope Komolafe described the speaker’s allegation as “a capital lie wrapped in mischief and borne out of desperation”.
He praised Aiyedatiwa for restoring dignity, transparency, and stability to the state and insisted the impeachment was solely about the speaker’s alleged misconduct.
Komolafe accused Oladiji of financial recklessness, divisive leadership, and manipulating legislative processes.
He also alleged that the speaker attempted to bribe him and demanded a public explanation for an alleged refund linked to the inducement.
The lawmaker further condemned Oladiji’s role in last year’s political crisis, accusing him of leading a “baseless and chaotic” impeachment attempt against the governor.
