Contrary to announcement by Speaker of Kogi State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Umar Ahmed Imam, plenary sitting will resume tomorrow.

From our findings, the change in plans is as a result of ‘orders from above’. The ‘powers that be’ have concluded plans to remove the Speaker and get an immediate replacement. As at press time, the ‘sins’ of Imam are not yet known.

The new magic wand of the Kogi State Government, Senator Smart Adeyemi, is said to be the executor of the grand plot. Been an experienced lawmaker, Adeyemi allegedly ‘worked’ on stubborn members to ensure the state governor have his way in the Assembly.

Member representing Kabba-Bunu state constituency, Prince Kolawole Matthew is expected to emerge as new Speaker tomorrow but the road is not totally clear yet as Smart Adeyemi is scheming to make his former personal assistant and member representing Ijumu state constituency, Hon. Victor Omofaiye Speaker. Reports alleged that Prince Kolawole is still begging Adeyemi to support his ambition.

However, a minor cabinet re-shuffle is expected in the executive arm of the government to pacify the people of Lokoja local government who will be left home and dry when Imam is replaced tomorrow. The government may have to sacrifice the Secretary to the State Government, Dr (Mrs) Arike Folashade Ayoade to get even with Lokoja people that will definitely be aggrieved with Imam’s removal.
