Commotion in Osun Assembly as Chief Whip, colleague exchange words

On Thursday, July 1, there was commotion as a shouting match ensued between the Chief Whip of the Osun State House of Assembly, Tunde Olatunji and his colleague, Desmond Babatunde.

According to sources, Desmond Babatunde, representing Oriade State Constituency, had accused the Chief Whip, who represents Ife North State Constituency of disrespecting the Speaker of the House, Timothy Owoeye.

The source also revealed that Olatunji was said to be addressing the Speaker while seated instead of the traditional standing as enshrined in the House rules.

It took the intervention of other members of the Assembly to arrest the situation.

It would be recalled that the State Governor, Adegboyega Oyetola had sent the list of the caretaker committees of local governments, local council development authorities and area offices to the House for screening.
