Your Apologies, Loyalty Pledge Won’t Save You From Impeachment- Ondo Assembly Assures Deputy Gov.

Less than a week after tendering his apologies and pledging to remain loyal to his boss, Rotimi Akeredolu, the Ondo State House of Assembly has declared that the embattled Deputy Governor of the state, Mr Lucky Ayedatiwa, will not escape the spectre of impeachment currently hunting him.

Aiyedatiwa had apologised to Governor Rotimi Akeredolu for the political crisis in the state and equally pledged his loyalty to him.

However, speaking on the apology tendered by the deputy governor, the Speaker of the Assembly, Mr Olamide Oladiji, said that the apology of the deputy governor “is not a concern of the assembly.”

Oladiji said: “The apology is a personal issue between the deputy governor and the governor, not a concern of the 26 members of the state assembly.”

Also speaking, the Majority Leader of the Assembly, Mr Oluwole Ogunmolasuyi, said: “It is not true that the Assembly members are divided over Aiyedatiwa’s impeachment.

“Some people are trying to play politics to divide the lawmakers, but we remain united in the decision to probe and impeach the deputy governor.

“The House is in order, though some people are trying to play politics to divide us, it is not possible. The House is not divided.
