Ondo Deputy Gov Asks Court To Stop Impeachment Process Against Him

 

The Deputy Governor of Ondo State, Hon. Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has approached the State High Court to stop the State House of Assembly from proceeding with the impeachment proceedings against him.

Aiyedatiwa, in a Suit No: AK/348/2023 filed at the High Court in Akure on Monday, September 25, 2023, asked the court to declare that the House of Assembly was not competent to proceed with his impeachment.

According to him in the suit, the action of the Assembly breached his constitutional and fundamental rights to fair hearing and that the sacking of his media aides and subjecting him to the Ministry of Information headed by a Commissioner amounts to a breach of his rights and privileges as a Deputy Governor.
