“It was then suggested by the committee that a vote of confidence should be passed in the speaker of the house.

“The speaker did not have multiple accounts with Ecobank, the BVN ascribed to Wema Bank does not belong to him and the companies attributed to him in Wema Bank is not correct.”

The panel’s clearance of Obasa was put to a voice vote by the house’s majority leader Sanai Agunbiade and was unanimously adopted by the lawmakers.
