Government
Event Summary

Debo Ogundoyin, Speaker of the Nigeria — Oyo State House of Assembly, denied allegations of receiving monetary inducements from Nigeria — All Progressives Congress proxies to facilitate the impeachment of Governor Seyi Makinde. He reaffirmed his unwavering loyalty to Governor Seyi Makinde and the ruling party, stating that no money exchanged hands and the rumors were fabricated to destabilize the government. Ogundoyin also clarified that his visit to Adewolu Ladoja, the Olubadan of Ibadanland, was purely consultative regarding his governorship ambition, not political scheming. Adewolu Ladoja also refuted claims of plotting to unseat Governor Seyi Makinde. These denials come amid escalating political tension in Nigeria — Oyo State, partly fueled by claims from Ayo Fayose, former Governor of Ekiti_State, about alleged plots involving Governor Seyi Makinde and Adewolu Ladoja.
