The Ondo for Better Life group, on Saturday accused the state’s lawmakers of collecting N5 million bribe to impeach the deputy governor of the state Lucky Aiyedatiwa as protests to the state House of Assembly’s removal of the deputy governor have continued.
The House, however, has rejected the allegation, calling it a fruitless attempt at blackmail.
Last Wednesday, the House started the process of ousting the deputy governor amid claims that he acted improperly while representing Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu.
The coordinator of the group, Mr Felix Lewis, who spoke in Akure, the state capital, on Saturday said each of the lawmakers that support the impeachment were given N5m.
He also alleged that the leadership of the House and some members of the state executive are coordinating the work.
However, this allegation was denied by the Majority Leader of the Assembly, Mr Oluwole Ogunmolasuyi, saying it was impossible to blackmail the House as they are doing their job.
