A former member of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, Ayodeji Odu, has said a former factional speaker of the state assembly, Mr. Dele Olugbemi, deserves the unfair treatment he is receiving from Governor Ayodele Fayose.

Odu, in a telephone interview with our correspondent on Thursday, slammed Olugbemi for crying foul over alleged unfair treatment he got from Fayose.

It will be recalled that Olugbemi and six other members had last November impeached the then substantive Speaker of the Assembly, Dr. Adewale Omirin, and suspended 19 All Progressives Congress members of the assembly.

Odu was among the 19 APC lawmakers who left the state because of threat of harassment.

Olugbemi and the six other PDP members of the Assembly stopped the 19 APC lawmakers from impeaching Fayose over alleged abuse of office.

The cordial relationship between Fayose and Olugbemi has, however, gone sour as Olugbemi, on Wednesday, rejected his nomination as a member of the House of Assembly Service Commission.

Olugbemi added that he was shocked about the manner his appointment as a member of the commission was announced in the media without Fayose first consulting him.

But Odu , who represented the Irepodun/Ifelodun Constituency II in the last Assembly, said the disagreement between Olugbemi and Fayose had vindicated his stance that Fayose could not be trusted.

The APC lawmaker said the situation in the state was appalling and that Olugbemi was reaping the fruits of his ‘illegal act’ during the political crisis that rocked the state last year.

Odu said, “What is happening between Fayose and Olugbemi serves the former illegal speaker right. It is a clear indication that he was just used and dumped and it is very unfortunate for Nigeria’s political system.”
