He said, “The State government has declared two weeks break for the public and civil servants not to create free time for rumourmongers to distract either the Oyo State House of Assembly, or the executive from the fight against the COVID:19 pandemic.

“I want to appeal to all the e-rats and their sponsors to desist from rumormongering, and misinforming the good people of Oyo State about any move from us as PDP lawmakers to impeach the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Adebo Ogundoyin.

“We are persons of integrity and absolutely loyal to the development of Oyo State, and the lives of our people in this hard time is more important to us than any form of politicking.

“Under the leadership of Ogundoyin, the 9th assembly has recorded many feats. I appeal to us to engage ourselves in activities that will add value to us, and our State while maintaining social distancing, and praying the our nation and the entire world to see the end of Coronavirus in no distance time.”
