Poroye, in a statement signed by the Commission's Director of Media and Corporate Affairs, Godson Ewata, said OSOPADEC had no involvement in the internal affairs or decisions of the state legislature.

The commission said its interactions with the Ondo State House of Assembly were conducted strictly within the framework of constitutional provisions, statutory obligations and established administrative procedures.

It stressed that decisions taken by the legislature remained solely the responsibility of the Assembly, insisting that OSOPADEC had no role in the ongoing political developments within the House.

The commission expressed concern over what it described as sustained campaigns of misinformation through news publications, commentaries, videos and social media content allegedly aimed at linking OSOPADEC and its leadership to the Assembly crisis.

It warned that any attempt to associate the commission with issues outside its statutory mandate would be regarded as a deliberate effort to mislead the public, damage its reputation and undermine confidence in its leadership.

"OSOPADEC has absolutely no role in the internal affairs of the Ondo State House of Assembly," the statement said.

The commission added that it would no longer tolerate what it described as falsehood, blackmail, character assassination and malicious propaganda targeted at the institution.

According to the statement, OSOPADEC has faced repeated misinformation and unwarranted attacks since the inauguration of the current administration under Poroye, but the leadership has remained focused on delivering sustainable development projects and programmes across the oil-producing communities in Ondo State.

OSOPADEC also cautioned against using its name to advance political interests or promote any agenda, saying such actions would neither influence its operations nor compel it to deviate from due process and the rule of law.

The commission reminded media organisations, online publishers, bloggers and content creators of their professional and legal obligations to verify facts before publication.

It stressed that allegations against the commission or its officials must be supported by credible and verifiable evidence, warning that the publication or dissemination of false, defamatory or fabricated information could attract legal consequences.

Declaring a tougher stance against what it described as malicious attacks on its image, OSOPADEC said it would henceforth pursue all lawful remedies available to protect its institutional integrity and the reputation of its leadership.

The commission urged parties involved in the ongoing House of Assembly dispute to seek redress through appropriate constitutional and legal channels without involving OSOPADEC in matters unrelated to its statutory functions.

Reaffirming its commitment to transparency, accountability, the rule of law and sustainable development, the commission said it remained focused on delivering impactful projects and improving the welfare of residents in the oil-producing areas of Ondo State.

It insisted that it would not be distracted by what it described as politically motivated propaganda or campaigns aimed at derailing its statutory mandate.
