Femi Emodamori, counsel of the Ondo assembly, says the lawmakers are not suspending the impeachment proceedings against Lucky Aiyedatiwa, deputy governor of the state.
Following his return, the governor sacked the media aides attached to Aiyeditawa, who acted in his stead while he was away.Consequently, Olusegun Odusola, chief judge of the state high court, declined the assembly’s request to set up a seven-man panel to investigate allegations of gross misconduct against the deputy governor.
However, in a new development, Emodamori, in a statement on Saturday, countered Oshati’s announcement, saying the assembly will carry on the impeachment process to a “logical conclusion”. He added that the lawmakers are taking “necessary legal steps to vacate” the ex-parte order of the federal high court.“Impeachment is a constitutional process clearly outlined in section 188 - of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 , and our Client has meticulously complied with all the stages leading up to the obligation placed on the State Chief Judge to set up a 7-man Panel to investigate the allegations, as stipulated in Section 188 of the Constitution,” he said.
