Osun: Lawmakers, Speaker Fight Dirty Over N250,000 Yuletide Money

A disagreement over misappropriation of funds has broken out between members of the Osun State House of Assembly and the Speaker of the House, Timothy Owoeye.

According to reports, the situation got so bad that members suggested removing the Speaker over what they described as “high handedness”.

Sources within the Assembly told Vanguard that lawmakers got huge amount of money for members welfare during the last festive season but the members were displeased with the amount given to them.

Findings revealed that the lawmakers were given N250,000 each which they claimed was too small considering the total amount given to House.

The members, it was gathered, met on Thursday to discuss the issue with a view to ensuring that the Speaker’s “over bearing influence” is checked.

The aforementioned publication reported that a lawmaker, who pleaded anonymity, disclosed that the lawmakers were displeased with the Speaker’s disposition on the issue.
