A former Speaker, Olugboyega Aribisogan, is challenging his impeachment by the Ekiti Assembly
has challenged the jurisdiction of the state high court to hear a suit filed by its former Speaker, Olugboyega Aribisogan, against his impeachment.
However, he challenged the impeachment as offensive to the Constitution and the standing rules of the House.In their response, they filed a Notice of Preliminary Objection challenging the jurisdiction of the court to entertain the matter. They said the failure of Mr Aribisogan to name the seven members of the Assembly he alleged to have unlawfully impeached him and join them as parties in the suit had rendered the case incompetent and also denied the court the jurisdiction to hear the matter.
According to the defendants, the case as presently constituted did not disclose any cause of action or reasonable action while the Affidavit in support of the Originating Summons is “bereft of salient facts to support the case of the Claimant.” “The criminal allegations and damning complaints formed the nucleus and substratum of the case of the Claimant,” it read.
