The Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly, Hon. Adewale Egbedun, has dismissed as false, a publication alleging that he received and authorised a letter concerning the rotation of chairmanship among traditional rulers in Osun State.
The speaker said the publication, circulated by a pseudo Facebook page operating under the name “Ashiwaju Omo Yoruba.” was false, adding that such matter was not presented or contemplated before the House or its Committee on Chieftaincy Matters.
In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Olamide Tiamiyu, the Speaker said the claim was entirely fabricated and does not reflect the legislative activities or records of the Assemby
“This pseudo Facebook page is clearly engaged in deliberate mischief, spreading unfounded information with the intent to mislead the public, provoke unnecessary tension, and undermine the credibility of the Osun State House of Assembly. Such irresponsible actions amount to a calculated attempt to exploit sensitive traditional and cultural issues for ulterior motives,” the statement noted.
Tiamiyu said the Speaker strongly condemns the conduct and reiterated that the Assembly conducted its affairs strictly in line with constitutional provisions and established legislative procedures.
“Members of the public, particularly the people of Osun State, are therefore, strongly advised to disregard this baseless publication in its entirety. Only statements issued through the official and verified channels of the Osun State House of Assembly should be considered authentic.
“The Speaker remains
steadfast in his commitment to truth, transparency, and the protection of the integrity of the House against misinformation and malicious falsehoods,” the statement concluded.
