The speaker of Oyo State House of Assembly, Hon. Debo Ogundoyin, has revealed why Hon. Olamide Akinajo, was removed as the chairman of the house committee on works and transport.
Ogundoyin, who revealed this during an interview on Ibadan-based radio station Fresh FM, stated that the removal of Hon. Akinajo was not a punishment.
According to him, “It wasn’t punishment, What you don’t know is that in the next sitting of the whole house, a lot of reshuffling will be going on .What happened initially was that we are going to do a lot of reshuffle in order for the committees to be more effective because when you first get to school you do different aspects before you now settle in as some chairmen maybe performing while some may be below the par.”
When asked about the relationship between the governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde and the leadership of the coalition that brought him to power, the Speaker explained that he can’t over extend himself or start discussing such issues when he is yet to carry out primary responsibility.
“All what we discussed this morning, we just scratched the surface of what my position entails, but I will say in order for me not to have grey hair in such an early age, let me even first finish the work at hand.Imagine what weve been discussing, we have not even talked about 10% of the job I’m doing and you now want me bring Political ZLP and Co ahhh, can’t over extend myself to the detriment of my job description as the speaker of the house,”he said.
He, however, added that he carries “everybody along as much as possible.”
