There are indications that the embattled deputy governor of Ondo state, Hon Lucky Aiyedatiwa, may soon be kicked out of office as the state House of Assembly initiated an impeachment process over alleged gross misconduct levelled against him.
Theliberationnews authoritatively gathered that some lawmakers have signed the impeachment notice against the deputy governor.
Indication of this emerged following an emergency plenary session summoned by the assembly leadership and the presence of heavy security operatives at the Assembly gate on Tuesday.
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.
Recall that the governor had sacked all the media aides attached to the deputy governor over alleged insubordination.
As of the time of filing this report, the Chairman, House Committee on Information, Hon.Olatunji Oshati Emmanuel, could not be reached for comment.
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 aide, “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.
