…….Aiyedatiwa Presides Over SEC Meeting
The Court of Appeal in Abuja has dismissed the application by the Ondo State House of Assembly Speaker, Olamide Oladiji and other lawmakers seeking the impeachment of the state’s Deputy Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa.
Reprieve has come Aiyedatiwa’s way as the panel of justices at the Court of Appeal dismissed the application on Thursday after the lawmakers withdrew same citing “interest of peace.”
The panel led by Justice Haruna Tsammani held that the appeal “having been withdrawn, is hereby dismissed.”
Meanwhile, the Deputy Governor presidied over the State Executive Council (SEC) meeting on Thursday.
Daily Trust reports that the SEC meeting is coming after several months of a political crisis between Aiyedatiwa and Governor Rotimi Akeredolu.
The impasse was occasioned by the absence of Akeredolu, who had been long absent from the state due to his underlying health challenges.
The governor had returned to Nigeria in September after spending several months in Germany, attending to his health and has since been recuperating in his residence in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
