Ondo Assembly Serves Impeachment Notice to Agbola as Dep Gov Drags Lawmakers to Court

The Ondo State House of Assembly has served a notice of impeachment to the Deputy Governor, Agboola Ajayi. He is accused of gross misconduct.

14 of the 26 members of the Assembly signed the notice on Tuesday, while nine voted against the decision

Meanwhile the embattled Deputy Governor has dragged the State House of Assembly to court.

Palpable fear has hit the camp of the Deputy Governor that the State House of Assembly may  begin the impeachment process against Ajayi on Tuesday for defecting to the PDP.

However, Agboola,  through his lawyer, filed the suit seeking to stop the impeachment proceeding and enforce his fundamental right of association.

Aside the House of Assembly, the suit filed by his lawyers has the Inspector General of Police, State Commissioner of Police, Department of State Services (DSS) and the Speaker of the Assembly, Mr David Oleyeloogun as defendants.

The suit filed by Mr I. Olatoke SAN seeks to enforce the fundamental right of the Deputy Governor to retain his position having defected from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to People‘s Democratic Party (PDP).
