Impeachment Saga: Ondo Deputy Governor Drags State Assembly to Court

The Deputy Governor of Ondo State has dragged the state House of Assembly before the court over the moves to impeach him.

The Assembly had last Wednesday at plenary commenced impeachment proceedings against the deputy governor, acting on a petition accusing him of gross misconduct.

The petitioner alleged that Aiyedatiwa committed the alleged infractions during his time as the acting governor when Governor Rotimi Akeredolu was abroad on medical vacation.

Akeredolu had shortly on his return to the country sacked the media team of the deputy governor, suggesting the beginning of troubles for the Deputy Governor.

The House, on Wednesday, directed the clerk to serve the petition on the embattled deputy governor, kicking off the process for his impeachment.
