The Ondo State House of Assembly has taken steps towards possibly removing Deputy Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa amidst allegations of serious misconduct.

It has come to light that Aiyedatiwa is under investigation for purportedly authorizing N300 million to acquire a bulletproof SUV for personal use while in office as the acting governor.

Aiyedatiwa assumed the role of acting governor during Governor Rotimi Akeredolu's absence for medical treatment, serving from June 13th to September 9th until the governor's return.

During the recent plenary session, the Assembly introduced a petition against Aiyedatiwa, which had garnered the signatures of nine out of the 17 members of the House. Speaker Olamide Oladiji presided over the session.

The Majority Leader of the House, Oluwole Ogunmolasuyi, cited Section 188 of the constitution in support of his proposal that the Assembly summon the deputy governor to address the allegations against him. This motion received a second from Tope Agbulu, the Akoko South-West Constituency 2 representative.

Consequently, the House instructed Clerk Benjamin Jaiyeola to invite Aiyedatiwa for further proceedings.
