The Chief Whip of the Oyo State House of Assembly, Gbenga Oyekola, has dismissed reports linking him to any plan to impeach the Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde.
Oyekola, who represents Atiba State Constituency, made the clarification in a statement posted on his verified Facebook page on Tuesday.
The lawmaker, elected under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), stated that he was neither consulted nor involved in any alleged meetings or arrangements aimed at removing the governor from office.
He also alleged that certain individuals were attempting to create division within the State House of Assembly and disrupt the existing relationship between the legislature and the executive arm of government.
“I, Hon. Gbenga Oyekola, hereby completely disassociate myself from any arrangement or activity that has the potential to disrupt the peace of Oyo State. I was never invited, never consulted, and was not part of any such meetings or arrangements,” he said.
Reaffirming his allegiance, Oyekola emphasized his loyalty to Governor Makinde and his administration.
“I cannot and will not be disloyal to my boss, His Excellency, Engr. Seyi Makinde. I reaffirm my unwavering loyalty and support for the governor, his government, and the party,” he added.
He further stressed his commitment to maintaining peace, unity, and continued progress in Oyo State.
