PDP kicks over suspension of member in Kwara Assembly

Date: 2021-07-15

The Kwara State branch of the Peoples Democratic Party has condemned the suspension of Raheem Agboola by the state House of Assembly, describing the move as unlawful and an affront to parliamentary ethics.

Agboola who was the only PDP member in the 24-member APC dominated Legislature was suspended on Tuesday over what WAS described as contempt of the Legislature and abuse of privileges contained in the comments allegedly made in a radio programme about the deplorable state of road infrastructure in his Constituency, Ilorin South Constituency of the state House of Assembly.

PDP in a statement by the state Publicity Secretary, Tunde Ashaolu, and made available to our correspondent on Wednesday described Agboola’s suspension by the Assembly as a "kangaroo pronouncement that cannot be accepted anywhere in the world where democracy thrives."

He said, "The Speaker, Hon Yakubu Danladi has subjected the Institution of Kwara state house of Assembly to an appendage of Governor Abdulraham Abdulrazaq’s office, lacks the power to suspend fellow house member who rises to protect the interest of his Constituency by lending his voice to the deplorable level of infrastructure in the state.

"Honorable Agboola by all standard is not an Appointee of Government or of Mr Speaker but was elected by the people of Ilorin south constituency, The house should know very well that for any action to be taken against such a man, such action must conform with all constitutional processes after due investigation.

"But the kangaroo pronouncement by Mr Speaker following a script from just two house members certainly abused all constitutional provisions.

"The party demands immediate reversal of such decision immediately. Ilorin South constituency people have had to endure so much injustice from the Assembly since 2019."
