…as Ondo Assembly begins process to impeach deputy gov

News trickled in Wednesday evening that the Ondo State House of Assembly has commenced the process of impeaching the Ondo State Deputy Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, a man who held sway for about three months while the governor was away on medical leave, carrying his duties efficiently without so much fuss.

One would wonder his offense for such a hammer at a time when the Edo State Deputy Governor, Philip Shaibu, who has become an aggressor in his desperate bid to become the State’s next governor at all cost, has been going about making trouble, harassing and blackmailing the governor, his principal without any consequences.

Between Shaibu and the Ondo Deputy Governor who really has committed an impeachable offence and what else can a deputy governor do before he is sanctioned?
