-

The Speaker, Oyo state house of Assembly , Hon Adebo Ogundoyin on Tuesday hosted former Speaker of the state Assembly Sen Monsurat Sunmonu in his office.

Sen Sunmonu who was the Speaker for the Seventh Oyo state house of Assembly was at the state house to felicitate with past members of the Assembly who were nominated as chairman and members of the Oyo State House of Assembly Service Commission, and to also watch the screening of the nominees.

The Speaker specially thanked Sen Sunmonu for her leadership and mentorship roles for the Ninth Oyo state House of Assembly, adding that members have continued to benefit from her immense political, administrative and legislative experiences.

Hon Ogundoyin equally lauded the former Speaker for being a reliable pillar of support for the present administration in Oyo state and indeed for the house of Assembly.

He said Sen Sunmonu has not only made history by becoming the first female lawmaker and indeed Speaker in Oyo state but also as one of the Speakers in the history of the state who led a rancour free house of Assembly and a house with a harmonious working relationship with the then executive arm of government.

"I am happy to receive my mother , a Senior Speaker in the Oyo Assembly and a Distinguished Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in my office. Your advice and support at all times have been helping me in piloting the affairs of the Ninth Assembly. I thank you most sincerely for being there for us at all times."

In her response, the former Speaker said she was happy for the crop of lawmakers in the Ninth Oyo state house of Assembly describing them as a  combination of the old and the young.

Hon Sunmonu noted that the vibrancy and youthfulness of the Speaker, Hon Adebo  who is one of the beneficiaries of the Not too young to run Act is making the Ninth Oyo Assembly one of the most active  in the country.

The distinguished Senator advised all lawmakers of the Ninth Assembly to work together irrespective of their party differences and affiliations towards making laws that will enhance good governance and also make life meaningful and bearable for the citizenry.

Sen Sunmonu used the medium to announce her resolve not to run for political office again.

"I am still in politics and I am available to give political advice to politicians who believe and promote good governance. That is why I am supporting Governor Seyi Makinde as one of the members of his political Advisory Committee. But I am too old now at Sixty-five to start jostling for political post hence I will not contest election again in Nigeria." Sen Sunmonu stressed.

"I am available for good  governance and this is what I will continue to stand for. I urge all the lawmakers to put their constituency first in whatever they do so that posterity can judge them right."
