 Ogun State House of Assembly on Thursday marked  the first year of change of its leadership, under Right Honourable Oludaisi Elemide during which  a total of eleven bills and over 42 motions were passed into Resolutions for the promotion of peace, order and good governance in the State.

Speaker of the house, Elemide who disclosed this, while fielding questions from journalists on the achievements of the 10th legislature under his watch at the Conference Hall of the Assembly Complex, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta, however renewed the lawmakers' call on the relevant security agencies to step up machineries for the prosecution of land - grabbers in the State

He explained that over 90 petitions were received within the period on issues affecting the various constituencies across the State, saying that majority of the issues were on land-grabbing activities.

He noted that the Assembly had passed the anti-land grabbing bill, which had since been assented to by the Governor Dapo Abiodun 


Describing the legislature as the bedrock of democracy, the Speaker emphasized the complementary roles of all the arms of government in a democracy.

He said that for democracy to thrive, there must be symbiotic relationships among all arms of government, saying the Assembly relationship with the executive arm had remained cordial which culminated in the overall development of the State.

Appreciating his colleague-lawmakers for their support in the last one year, Rt. Hon. Elemide said sections 91 and 92 of the Nation's Constitution allowed the House of Assembly to appoint or select its leadership for the smooth operation of the legislative arm.

He disclosed that the court case between the Assembly and the former Speaker in relation to the change of leadership had been determined last Tuesday, and he had returned to the Assembly today to join other colleague-lawmakers to continue to represent his constituency.

Responding to the issue of herder/ farmer clashes arising from open grazing, the Speaker stated that the Assembly had since passed the anti- open grazing bill, stressing that the onus was on the security agencies to prosecute violators.
