\nSpeaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, Hon Dele Olugbemi has described as “Comedy of the festive season” claim by some of the All Progressives Congress (APC) lawmakers in the State that they sat today, in Ado-Ekiti.<\/p>\n

Olugbemi, who said no sitting of the State House of Assembly took place today, added that “The APC lawmakers could have met at a beer parlour in Ikoyi, Lagos or Osogbo, in Osun State.”<\/p>\n

The Speaker said it was only a group of clownish clowns that would gather at a hotel, consume several bottles of beer and later send pictures of purported sitting as members of Ekiti State House of Assembly to the press.<\/p>\n

While urging Ekiti people to ignore the APC lawmakers, Olugbemi said; “They are in court, challenging the removal of Adewale Omirin as the Speaker and it is commonsensical that they allow the court to adjudicate.”<\/p>\n

He said if the APC lawmakers were serious about performing their legislative duties, they should return to the State instead of running from one hotel to another in Lagos and Osun States.<\/p>\n

“The APC lawmakers are behaving like the clowns that they are and one cannot but pity them.<\/p>\n

“The hallowed chamber of the Ekiti State House of Assembly is the only venue for the sitting of the State House of Assembly and those meeting in hotels and paraga joints in Lagos and Osun States should know that they are just advertising their collective idiocy,” Olugbemi said.
