Hon. Osho Appreciates Honourable Colleagues, Party Leaders As OGHA Recalls His Suspension

Ogun State House of Assembly has recalled one of the two members it recently suspended, Hon. Solomon Osho, representing Remo North State Constituency from an indefinite suspension, following deliberation on his appeal and subsequent acceptance of his appeal letter which was acknowledged at the previous plenary.

Osho's recall followed the presentation of the report of the Whole House by the Deputy Speaker, Akeem Balogun in respect of H.R No 131/OG/2022 at a plenary presided over by the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Olakunle Oluomo.

Subsequently, the Majority leader, Yusuf Sheriff moved the motion for the adoption of the report, which was supported by other lawmakers through a voice vote.

The report partly reads, “members at the meeting discussed the letter of appeal extensively based on the passionate plea and remorse showed by Hon. Osho as well as tendering apology for whatever he might have done to warrant the suspension, as it was never intentional and without prejudice to the Rights and Privileges of the Hallowed House.

Members observed that going by the previous conducts of the suspended Hon. Member, which has always been with decorum and respect for constituted authority and having promised to also continue to keep same sacred till the end of his tenure as a worthy representative of his people, members agreed that his appeal be graciously considered.

The Committee resolved that the suspension be revoked and Hon. Osho Solomon Oluwaseyi be reinstated with effect from today, Tuesday 4th October, 2022.”

It would be recalled that the Assembly on 13th September, 2022 suspended the former Deputy Speaker, Dare Kadiri and Hon. Solomon Osho in line with the provisions of sections 14 and 15 of the Legislative Houses (Powers and Privileges) Act, 2017.

 When Hon Solomon OSHO was contacted for his reaction, he said “I am grateful to God Almighty, and all my Honourable Colleagues who stood by me. I also appreciate all our Party Leaders, my Royal Fathers and Constituents for their steadfast support, most especially for the “Vote of Confidence” recently passed on me.

I finally feel exonerated, as I have always maintained my innocence because I still don’t know the exact offence I committed. Even in the resolution of my distinguished colleagues on the floor today, it was stated that “Members observed that going by the previous conducts of the suspended Hon. Member, which has always been with decorum and respect for constituted

authority and having promised to also

continue to keep same sacred till the end of his tenure as a worthy representative of his people, members agreed that his appeal be graciously considered.”

As a progressive democrat, I have now moved on though, as I look forward to resuming back to my duties and responsibilities of giving qualitative representation, advocacy and attracting dividends of Democracy for the benefit of my Constituents.
