Following the emergence of Prince
Mathew Kolawole as the 12th speaker of the Kogi State House of Assembly, the
current Secretary to the Kogi State Government, Mrs Folashade Arike Ayoade, may
soon tender her resignation letter to the governor in a bid to balance the
political equation of the state.
Sources from the State Government
House revealed that efforts are in top gear for Mrs Ayoade to make this move
since she is from the same zone as the current Speaker of the Kogi State House
of Assembly.
It was, however, revealed that
her possible replacement will be coming from Lokoja Local Government following
the resignation former Speaker, Umar Ahmed Imam, member representing Lokoja 1.
This move according to sources is
championed towards compensating the people of Lokoja who recently lost the seat
of the Speaker.
Recall that the member
representing Lokoja 1 in the Kogi State House of Assembly, Umar Ahmed Imam
recently resign his position as Speaker over alleged loggerheads with the
Executive Governor of Kogi State.
A similar situation played out in
2016, when Governor Yahaya Bello assumed office as the 4th democratically
elected governor of Kogi State.
It was gathered that, the
Governor has no option than to support the call for a change of leadership in
the Kogi State House of Assembly led by Momoh Jimoh Lawal (Pdp Okene 1) as a
result of Political exigency.
This marked the beginning of the
crisis that enmeshed the sixth Assembly In 2016 leading to the formation of G15
and G5 lawmakers.
