Earlier in the month, the Ondo State House of Assembly has denied stories that it had suspended the process of impeaching Aiyedatiwa.
While describing the rumours as “some distorted news story”, the Assembly insisted that it will carry through the impeachment to a logical conclusion in order to determine the veracity or otherwise of what it calls the “monumental allegations of gross misconduct against the Deputy Governor.”
A statement debunking the suspension of the process signed by the Assembly’s lawyer, Femi Emodamori stated that it had followed the impeachment processes as provided in the Constitution to the stage where the Chief Judge is required to constitute a 7-man panel to look into the allegations levelled against the Deputy Governor.
