The Speaker of the Ondo State House of Assembly, Bamidele Oleyelogun, has debunked reports making the rounds that he has resigned.
Oleyelogun, in a statement issued on Friday, June 2, said the purported letter of his resignation in circulation was the “handiwork of the fifth columnists who are bent on throwing Ondo State into anarchy, particularly the House of Assembly.”
He added: “The purported resignation is no doubt the figment of the imagination of the peddlers of such heinous act as l did not contemplate or discuss such move with any member of the Assembly or family members.

“Let me tell members of the public that the purported letter of resignation did not emanate from me as it was forged by purveyors of such letter.”
Oleyelogun noted that the Clerk of the Assembly, Benjamin Jaiyeola, informed him that he did not receive any letter of resignation.
“I have not informed the Executive Arm of Government of such resignation and I urge my Honourable Colleagues, Staffers of the House of Assembly, members of my constituency to disregard the letter,” he stressed.
The Speaker urged security agencies to investigate the purveyors of the letter.
Meanwhile, there were a heavy presence of policemen and officers of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) around the Assembly’s complex in Akure, the Ondo State capital, on Friday.
