OSUN: WHY ODO-OTIN LOCAL GOVT DESERVES SPEAKERSHIP POSITION

A pro democracy group in Osun State, The Third Force has stressed the need for the zoning of the speakership position in the next Assembly.

The group made up of pro democracy activists urged the leadership of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state to zone the speakership position to Ifelodun/Boripe/Odo-Otin federal constituency of Osun central senatorial district.

Specifically, the group noted that Odo-Otin Local Government deserves the position of the Speaker as it is the only local government without any vital political office in the federal constituency.

The convener of the group, Comrade Femi Babalola noted that Ifelodun Local Government has already produced a member of the House of Representatives while the state House of Assembly member elect from Boripe is not a member of the PDP.

He stressed the need for leaders of the PDP to microzone the speakership position to Odo -Otin Local Government in the spirit of fairness and justice.

The group exonerated the state Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke from alleged favourism in who becomes the next speaker of the state House of Assembly.

He said “May we boldly say that we embark on a very good investigative research and we find out that the executive Governor is loyal to all the House of Assembly members elect without isolating anyone.

“The Party and the Stakeholders in the party will ultimately decide and micro-zone where they want the pendulum to swing. It’s not the governor or anyone,the onus of responsibility of deciding where to go lies on the party.

“In every community there are elders. In every association, be it political, social, commercial and even religion there are leaders. One of the principal functions of the leaders is to see to the welfare of the group and also to take critical stands and decisions where necessary. A case in point of the office of the Speaker.

“An individual that’s capable, energetic, intelligent and highly cerebral. An epitome of honesty, academically sound, trustworthy not feebleminded. The legislative arm of govt has enormous task ahead of it. A very loyal individual, someone who has been part of struggle, an individual who work assiduously with the present government is therefore needed.

“May we quickly say that from the information gathered,the position of the Speaker has been zoned to Ifelodun Boripe and Odo-Otin federal Constituency.

“This is understandable. Olorunda/Osogbo/Irepodun federal constituency has been given the slot of the Secretary to the State Government while Ila/Boluwaduro/Ifedayo federal constituency has a Senator.

“Let those who sponsors campaign of calumny, character assassination of the Governor be wary of that. The party is yet to decide who gets what. Why crying fouls, why anticipating failure? he added.

DOUBLE CELEBRATION FOR CHILD OF DESTINY, MAN OF THE PEOPLE @ 63!!!

There is nothing more gratifying than recognizing a shining star whose glorious destiny cannot be truncated, regardless of the volume of opposition, backstabbing or antagonism raised against him, by enemies of humanity and the work of GOD.

The Executive Governor of Osun State, His Excellency, Sen. Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke is no doubt, a child of destiny who was designed by the LORD to lead his people from the obscurity and darkness of this world into the limelight and glittering light of the moment.

Governor Adeleke is a unique and special gift of almighty whose antecedent stands tall as an undeniable panacea to the challenges facing humanity.

His resounding victory over his political adversaries at the Supreme Court and his birthday anniversary in a moment such as this is not a mere coincidence but a Devine arrangement, symbolizing GOD’s special love and covenant with him.

It is no doubt, a period to put on dancing shoes, rolling out drums and drop few lines in celebrating an iconic leader whom GOD’s unequalled grace upon him can not be quantified.
LORD’s purpose for man coming to fulfilment through the Governor is conspicuous and can not be underestimated.

Sir, l congratulate you on this memorable occasion of double celebration in the land of the living. You are the man of the people on whom the faithfulness of GOD has been validated.

Your Excellency, as you journey on in the race of life, may GOD’s wisdom, love and enablement be multiplied in your life by HIS grace.

ACTION ALLIANCE PETITIONS LEGAL PRACTITIONERS DISCIPLINARY COMMITTEE OVER ALLEGED PROFESSIONAL MISCONDUCT BY KENNETH UDEZE

The Action Alliance (AA) has petitioned the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee on the alleged unethical conducts and acts of a lawyer who is also a former member of the party, Mr Kenneth Udeze.

In a petition filed by the National Chairman of the party, Dr Adekunle Rufai Omoaje before the LPDC holding in Abuja, the party decried Udeze’s alleged illegal activities as a lawyer.

Also joined in the petition are Malachy Chinyeaka Nwaekpe, Sylvanus Uchendu, Peter Abang, Peters Ugwuoke and Jennifer Anderson-Achilike.

Omoaje who deposed to an affidavit to support his claim against Udeze alleged that Uduze was in the habit and practice of filling suits with fictitious names.

It would be recalled that Udeze who was a former member of the AA had since been suspended and subsequently expelled from the party, having being found wanting of various offences.

The party had since 14th December 2022 petitioned the committee in order to investigate the allegations leveled against Udeze.

Having carefully looked into the allegations in the petition, the committee said it has found it worthy of being looked into and has subsequently served the parties involved in the petition for their responses against the allegations contained in the Petition.

The party had alleged Udeze of plot to perpetuate himself in office as the National Chairman of the party, hence his decision to file suits with different fictitious names in the High Court of Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

Some of the cases cited by the party where Udeze allegedly used fictitious names include FCT/HC/CV/2705/2019 involving Hon. Iliya Gambo versus Kenneth Udeze and FCT/HC/CV/174/2022 involving Chief Uzewuru Nwachukwu versus Kenneth Udeze.

“It is the party’s position that there’s no human being bearing the name Hon Iliya Gambo and Chief Uzewuru Nwachukwu,” he stated.

Omoaje added that “Kenneth Udeze used the same set of lawyers; Malachy Chinyeaka Nwaekpe, Sylvanus Uchendu, Peter Abang and Peters Ugwuoke in filling all his court processes and employed Jennifer Anderson to hold the brief of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) without being instructed by INEC.

“In order words, Udeze, Nwaekpe, Uchendu, Abang, Ugwuoke and Adanson-Achilike abused the process of court in order to cause confusion and unrest in the Action Alliance using their positions as lawyers,” he stressed.

Also, Omoaje cited various court cases where Udeze allegedly used fictitious names at the court and called for thorough investigations with a view sanctioning Udeze.
