The Conference of Speakers of State Legislatures of Nigeria has dismissed as false a viral report claiming that the Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Adewale Egbedun, had been suspended.
The Chairman of the Conference, Rt. Hon. Adebo Ogundoyin, in a statement on Thursday, described the report, first published by an online platform on July 30, 2025, as “entirely false, malicious, and a deliberate attempt to mislead the public.”
Ogundoyin clarified that no such suspension ever occurred, nor was any press conference held in Ibadan or elsewhere to make such an announcement.
He said, “There was no such suspension. No press conference was held in Ibadan or anywhere else, and no such pronouncement was made by me or any authorised representative of the conference.”
He affirmed that Rt. Hon. Egbedun remains “a respected and active member of the Conference who has not been found wanting in any way.”
The Speakers’ Conference criticised the media platform responsible for the report, calling it a “baseless fabrication lacking any journalistic credibility.”
Ogundoyin urged media organisations to verify information before publishing, warning that misleading stories could damage reputations and misinform the public.
“This is a reminder that freedom of the press comes with responsibility. Fake news must be tackled with urgency,” he said.
