The Osun State House of Assembly, OSHA, has firmly dismissed claims circulating on social media alleging plans to rotate the chairmanship of the state’s traditional council.

The Assembly also reaffirmed its determination to defend its institutional integrity against misinformation, fake news, and malicious falsehoods.

This clarification came in a statement issued by the Speaker, Prince Adewale Egbedun, through his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Olamide Tiamiyu, in response to a post published on a Facebook page identified as “Ashiwaju Omo Yoruba,” which falsely suggested that the legislature was considering such a move.

Prince Egbedun described the online publication as entirely false and unrelated to the activities of the House, warning that unchecked misinformation could erode public trust in democratic institutions.

“There has been no communication submitted to, received by, or acknowledged within the legislative chamber regarding the rotation of chairmanship among traditional rulers in the state. No committee of the House, including the Committee on Chieftaincy Matters, has discussed or scheduled deliberations on such an issue”, the statement declared.

The Speaker cautioned members of the public against spreading unverified information, particularly on sensitive cultural and traditional matters, noting that the misleading post did not emanate from any recognised channel of the House of Assembly.

Prince Egbedun reassured residents of Osun State of his unwavering commitment to transparency and accountability in legislative processes.
