The Ondo State House of Assembly yesterday restarted the impeachment process against Deputy Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa.
The process was suspended following the intervention by All Progressives Congress, APC National Chairman Abdullahi Ganduje.
Chief Judge of Ondo State Olusegun Odusola also declined to constitute a panel that will investigate the misconduct allegations levelled against Aiyedatiwa by the lawmakers.
During Ganduje’s meeting with a delegation from the assembly led by Speaker Oladiji Olamide, it was decided that the impeachment process be put on hold to allow for a political resolution of the crisis.
One of the conditions was for Aiyedatiwa to withdraw the cases he filed to stall the impeachment.
Sources said the assembly opted to resume the impeachment process when it received no notice that Aiyedatiwa had withdrawn the cases as agreed.
Yesterday, the Speaker, wrote another letter to the Chief Judge, requesting him to constitute a panel to investigate the allegations levelled against Aiyedatiwa in line with Section 188 (5) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended).
