Members of the Ogun State House of Assembly loyal to ex-governor,
Olusegun Osoba have vowed to resist any attempt by pro Amosun lawmakers
to impeach the state Deputy Governor, Prince Segun Adesegun, as the
leader of the opposition in the House, Hon. Remmy Hassan, said his team
will be waiting for such an attempt to impeach the deputy governor.
Prince
Adesegun, stirred the honest nest weeks back when he wrote a well
publicised letter to the state governor, accusing him of sideling him
and treating him with contempt. He belonged to the Olusegun Osoba
faction of the All Progressives Congress, APC before the factions move
to the Social Democratic Party, SDP.
Investigations reveal that
pro-Amosun lawmakers are said to be waiting in the wings to impeach the
Deputy Governor the moment he formally declares for the SDP.
According to a Vanguard report, the task of impeaching the Deputy
Governor maybe an uphill task as the 26 member house is evenly divided
between pro-Osoba and Pro Amosun lines.
Hassan said: “It will be
practically difficult to impeach the deputy governor, because there is
no constitutional breach. Except the constitution is amended; however,
everybody is awake even while asleep.
“We have 13 members each on
both sides. But the other 13 loyal to the governor is at a disadvantage,
because the principal officer, the Speaker, is on their side and he
could not vote but only preside.
“Moreover, it would amount to shadow chasing to seek for an impeachment in the House you don’t have control over.”
