Ogun Assembly bars Daniel from holding public office

The Ogun State House of Assembly (OGHA) yesterday listed fleeing former Governor Gbenga Daniel in its Black Book (OGHAAB) and barred him from occupying public office in the future either in the state or anywhere in Nigeria.

Daniel’s sins, according to the OGHA, is that he did not only instigate the pre-dawn contravention of the orders of the OGHA by eight minority lawmakers led by Soyemi Coker last September 6, but also committed state resources into the "inglorious" project to the tune of N167.5m.

The House said it discovered upon investigation by a 10-man panel, headed by the Deputy Speaker, Mr Remmy Hazzan (Odogbolu), that Daniel released the said sum to the minority lawmakers between September 6, 2010 and May 2011 for their "illegal sittings" and "illegal decisions" through the Accountant- General (A-G) of the state.

The former governor was nominated for inclusion in the dreaded Black Book by Hon. Olawale Hassan Alausa, representing Ijebu-Ode state constituency, and he was supported by Hon. Abiodun Akovoyon (Ipokia) as the House wound up the Sixth Legislative Assembly around 4:52 pm yesterday.

In justifying the nomination, Alausa posited that it would amount to a miscarriage of justice if the eight minority lawmakers have their names listed on the OGHABB while that of the "architect" and "financier" is left out.

When subjected to voice vote on the floor of the Assembly by Speaker Tunji Egbetokun, all the G-15 lawmakers supported the inclusion of Daniel’s name on the OGHABB for allegedly aiding and abetting the overthrow of an arm of government through "unconstitutional" means.

Others who made the OGHABB list and were equally barred from holding any public office in Ogun State or elsewhere in Nigeria were the eight lawmakers loyal to Daniel.

They are Hon. Bakenne Fasiu Adewale (Abeokuta South), Ayo-Odugbesan Edwards (Ijebu North), Adegbesan Joseph, Coker Soyemi Emmanuel, Kojeku David Sunday and Bankole Durotolu.

The affected lawmakers were declared "personal non grata, unfit for any public office anywhere in the Federal Republic of Nigeria" and were recommended for "further investigation and prosecution by the EFCC and the ICPC."

My father-in-law shares bed with me, husband – Wife

A 22-year-old housewife, Rashidat Adewuyi, told an Idi-Ogungun Customary Court in Ibadan on Friday that her father-in-law slept on the same bed with her and her husband whenever he visited them.

Rashidat made the statement on Friday when she testified in a divorce petition filed by her husband, Lukman Adewuyi.

She said her marriage of two years with Lukman had been characterised by agony and regrets due to interference by her father-in-law, who never allowed her to have free access to her husband.

According to Rashidat, her husband always takes permission from his father on every issue between her and her husband.


“Even he seeks his father’s permission before in*******se and my father-in-law always sleeps on the same bed with me and my husband whenever he visits.

“I used to dress or change my pants in the bathroom because my father-in-law would not leave our one-room apartment whenever I wanted to dress up,” she said.

Rashidat further said that her father-in-law instigated her husband to file the petition so as to have total control over him.

She urged the court to grant the prayer of the petitioner but that he be given responsibility to maintain the only child of the relationship.

Earlier, Lukman had pleaded with the court to dissolve the marriage on the ground that the respondent wanted to stab him to death.

He said his wife was in the habit of cursing him and threatening to kill him whenever they had a quarrel.

“There was a particular night that she brought out a knife and wanted to stab me because another woman called my cell phone number.

“It took the intervention of my landlord before she agreed not to stab me and such incident made me file a divorce suit,” Adewuyi said.

The President of the court, Chief Mukaila Balogun, and the court assessors, Aare Samotu and Ganiyu Alao, made efforts to prevail on the couple to resolve the matter amicably but failed.

The court, thereafter, ordered the dissolution of the marriage as the parties wished.

Balogun also ordered the plaintiff to pay N3,500 as monthly feeding allowance for the only child of the union and warned the parties to maintain the peace and stay away from each other.
