Here is the
face of the paymaster of the Ondo State House of Assembly who literally sacked
the first female Speaker, Jumoke Akindele, by his action.
The
paymaster claimed he was asked to withdraw N15million in cash from the bank.
The money stacked inside a ‘Ghana Must Go’ bag was meant to be delivered in
Akindele’s home, according to him.
But the
paymaster brought the bag to the Assembly Complex, where he was found out by
other
members of
the assembly.
Questioned
on the ownership of the money, he reportedly said it was meant for Akindele.
This
prompted an instant rebellion with 20 out of the 26 members of the assembly
moving to impeach the speaker at a short session.
According to
Vanguard Online, 15 members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and five
member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) combined to carry out the rebellion.
An Acting
speaker, Malachi Coker and deputy speaker, Ayodele Arowele were elected.
Olamide George was elected as the majority leader.
