The embattled Deputy Governor of Ondo State, Hon Lucky Aiyedatiwa, may soon face impeachment by the state House of Assembly following allegations of gross misconduct.
A reliable source has disclosed that some lawmakers have already signed an impeachment notice against the deputy governor.
However, this development follows contradictory statements from key figures in the Assembly.
The Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Rt Hon Olamide Oladiji, had recently dismissed rumors of an impeachment plot, stating that there was no such plan.
The Majority Leader of the Assembly, Mr. Oluwole Ogunmolasuyi, also urged the public to ignore the rumor and emphasized that the Assembly’s focus is on matters that will bring development to the state.
The controversy surrounding the deputy governor escalated when his resignation letter surfaced on social media shortly after the removal of his aides.
In response, Aiyedatiwa denied resigning from his position, emphasizing his loyalty to the Governor and commitment to fulfilling his elected term.
Aiyedatiwa’s aides also refuted allegations of their boss’s purchase of a vehicle while serving as the deputy governor, stating that these were mere attempts to discredit him.
