Ondo State House Of Assembly Rejects The Letter Written By The Deputy Governor,
Lucky Aiyedatiwa claiming that the Chief Judge should not set up a panel to probe the deputy governor.
The House made mention that it was also not part of the reconciliation committee set up by the All Progressives Congress (APC) and hence, it could go ahead with the impeachment process.
Aiyedatiwa had reminded the CJ that he was a party on both suits which had been served on all the parties (Respondents).
But reacting to the letter, the Ondo State Assembly through its lawyer, Barr. Femi Emodamori said that the ex parte order had since been elapsed and the court had not renewed it.
He said that while responding to the deposition of the Claimant Counsel, “I submitted on behalf of my Client, just like all the other respected Counsel for the other Defendants in the case, that we had actually prevailed on our Client to withdraw the Petition, and the Petition had been withdrawn on Friday 6th October, 2023; in which case, it cannot be used as an excuse to seek an indefinite adjournment.
“I fully apologised to the Court for any wrong choice of words in the Petition, which was authored and signed by my Client.”
He added that the reported APC reconciliation Committee, that his submission was that the State House of Assembly was not privy to it, adding that since media reports state that the Committee is to reconcile the Ondo State Governor and his Deputy.
He, however, stated that the Claimant (deputy governor) only served his client (the State House of Assembly) today the Originating Summons filed as far back as 21st September, 2024 and the ex parte order made by the Court as far back as 26th October, 2023, thereby confirming his repeated public assertions that his Client was never served any of those processes.
“Happily, the Court duly noted the fact that we were just served in the open Court today in its record. We have applied for the Certified True Copy of the record of proceedings.
