The Osun chairman of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), Hon. Adewale Adebayo has commenced the process for the recall of Osun Speaker Adewale Egbedun for threat to life of his hometown king, Alasi of Asi, Oba Isaac Oyewale.

The Nation reports that Oba Oyewale absconded from the palace after Egbedun, representing Odo-Otin State Constituency, threatened and vowed to assault the king. The Speaker apologised to supporters for the outburst.

Adebayo in a statement on Monday confirmed that plan has been concluded to recall Egbedun by his constituents.

He said: ?We have prepared a notification letter to be submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) by Monday on the recall process.

?I am from that constituency and I can tell you that we have lost confidence in Egbedun?s representation long ago but the recent threat on the life of his hometown king is the last straw that breaks the camel?s back.

?You will recall that he prevented police from arresting fraudsters, the videos are on social media, he led his security to physically assault a court bailiff and a lawyer, then had poor representation.?

Adebayo added: ?Egbedun?s representation has brought shame on us. We have qualified people in our constituency who can give us quality representation.?

?We are starting the process of his recall from tomorrow, August 4th 2025, we are all ready in Odo-Otin State Constituency to recall him by all legal means. If a lawmaker could threaten the life of a referred traditional ruler of his hometown, then none of us is safe.? (The Nation)
