Suspense As Lawmakers Commence Impeachment Process Against Ondo Dep Gov
The embattled deputy governor of Ondo state, Hon Lucky Aiyedatiwa, may soon be impeached by the state House of Assembly over alleged gross misconduct.
A reliable source said that some lawmakers have signed the impeachment notice against the deputy governor.
Indication to this emerged following an emergency plenary session summoned by the assembly leadership and the presence of heavy security operatives at the Assembly gate yesterday.
Source told newsmen that the deputy governor is under investigation for alleged gross misuse of office.
It was alleged that Aiyedatiwa while he was the acting governor, following the medical vacation of the governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, he reportedly approved N300 million for the purchase of a bulletproof SUV for his personal use.
Recall that the governor travelled to Germany for medical treatment for three months.
Aiyedatiwa was alleged to have ordered the N300 million to be sourced from the Palliative fund, which was from the Federal government to the state in order to cushion the effect of the removal of fuel subsidy.
Also, government officials kept mum on the development in the assembly.
Aides to the deputy governor denied the allegation of the purchase of vehicle by their boss while acting as the deputy governor.
According to one of his aides, ”they’re are just looking for excuses. But they will fail because they’ve always failed in all their efforts to bring the deputy governor down”.
