“There have been rumours in some online and the conventional media that the Speaker has been invited by the EFCC.
“As I often say, this is the only genuine source of information from the House of Assembly. If you get your information from other sources, then it is left to you.
“As at this moment that we are having this press conference, the Speaker of the Ondo State House of Assembly, Mr Bamidele Oloyelogun, has not been invited by the EFCC.
“That is the truth as I am talking to you, ‘’Omole said.
He, however, explained that an aggrieved staff member of the Assembly petitioned the EFCC, which made the agency to invite the concerned staff.
