Following the intervention of the All Progressives Congress (APC) led by Dr. Umar Abdullahi Ganduje, the APC members in Ondo State House of Assembly have agreed to consider the possibility of a political solution on the impeachment proceedings against the State Deputy Governor, Hon. Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa.
At a meeting held in the APC’s National Secretariat in Abuja, the lawamkers agreed that a political solution to the impeachment was possible and proper.
The speaker of the state house of assembly,, Olamide Oladiji, said the House was only exercising its responsibility under S.188 of the 1999 Constitution, having received a petition accusing the Deputy Governor of some allegations of gross misconduct and abuse of office.
He however, expressed the desire of the House leadership to further consult with members of the House cutting across party lines, on the political solution as proposed by the APC.
The House therefore hopes that in the same spirit of genuine wish for a political solution, the Deputy-Governor would take immediate steps to withdraw the multiple court cases he filed over the same impeachment.
This would allow the stakeholders to freely discuss the settlement proposals and prevent actions or comments over a matter that is still sub-judice.
