The lawmakers said they have robust relationship with the Executive arm of government and that the speculation was to cause disaffection between the two arms of government.
Chairman of the House Committee on Information, Hon. Olugbenga Omole, who spoke in a press statement after plenary denied reports that the residential quarters of the Speaker of the House, Hon Bamidele Oleyelogun, was besieged by the security operatives.
According to the statement, โThere was no plan to commence impeachment moves against the Governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Odunayo Akeredolu.
โThe news making the rounds that the Speakerโs Lodge was under seige is a hoax and the imagination of those behind it.
โThe lodge was never under seige. The armed Policemen sighted there were at some distance away and were there to maintain peace, law and order.
โOn the issue of the N4.3b under scrutiny, all relevant documents should be submitted to the Committee on Public Account and Committee on Finance and Appropriation respectivelyโ.
