Daud Olatunji, Abeokuta
THE Deputy Speaker of the Ogun State House of Assembly, Dare Kadiri, has described his purported removal from office by his colleagues as unconstitutional.
He said this while reacting to news of his removal by fellow lawmakers, who found him guilty of a charge of gross misconduct during plenary, on Thursday.
Kadiri said, “The development, to say the least, was grossly unconstitutional and illegal. However, I have initiated consultation with my lawyers to fashion out the best way possible to address this infraction.
“I urge my teeming supporters, constituents and members of my political party in Ijebu North II State Constituency, to remain calm as the issues that threw up this unwarranted action are sorted.

Kadiri had clashed with some leaders of the party over allegations of violent conduct during the membership registration and revalidation exercise of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.
It was alleged that Kadiri led suspected hoodlums to invade residence of the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Tokunbo Talabi, in Oru-Ijebu, Ijebu North Local Government Area of the State.
Kadiri allegedly led thugs to invade and vandalise the SSG’s residence in Oru-Ijebu and that of a former state legislator, Adebiyi Odugbesan.
Kadiri was said to have accused the SSG and Adegbesan of hoarding the registration materials for the ongoing APC registration and revalidation exercise in the State.

Kadiri’s removal followed the presentation of the report of the ad-Hoc Committee on the ‘Petition for Removal of the Deputy Speaker, Hon. Dare Kadiri, Oluwatimileyin from Office for gross misconduct’ by the Committee Chairman and Majority Leader, Hon. Yusuf Sheriff, shortly after which a member representing Ijebu-North East, Hon.

Kemi Oduwole and supported by nineteen other lawmakers at the plenary presided over by the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Olakunle Oluomo at the Assembly Complex, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta.
