Impeachment Rumours Deepen Rift in Oyo Assembly as Lawmakers Take Sides

Tension is mounting in Oyo State as rumours of an impeachment plot against Governor Seyi Makinde turn into a full-blown crisis in the State House of Assembly. Some lawmakers, including the Deputy Speaker, have publicly denied any move to oust the governor, while others remain silent, fuelling speculation of a split within the Assembly. Chief Whip Gbenga Oyekola has been vocal in rejecting the claims, insisting he wasn’t aware of or invited to any impeachment plan. He also revealed that traditional and political figures offered inducements to the Speaker, which were reportedly refused. Despite these denials, uncertainty surrounds Adebo Ogundoyin’s stance and the deeper divisions that may lie beneath the surface. Observers say the unfolding drama could shape Oyo’s political future as more members prepare to speak out.
