Ondo State Deputy Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa has filed a suit at the Ondo State High Court to halt the State’s House of Assembly’s impeachment proceedings against him.

He urged the court to grant an injunction stopping the House of Assembly from initiating, continuing, or proceeding with the process of his removal from office.

The Ondo Assembly, last week, wrote to Aiyedatiwa to answer issues raised in a petition signed by nine lawmakers.

The petition included inquiries into Aiyedatiwa’s attempt to procure a bulletproof Vehicle For The Sum Of N300 Million During Governor Rotimi Akeredolu’s medical absence.

In the suit filed yesterday, September 25, Aiyedatiwa seeks a declaration that the House of Assembly is not competent to proceed with his impeachment in breach of his constitutional and fundamental rights to a fair hearing.

He prayed the court to declare that his office, tenure, status, rights, and privileges were protected, guaranteed, and secured by the Constitution.
