The days of Ondo State Deputy Governor, Lucky Ayedatiwa, in office may be numbered.
It directed the Chief Judge, Justice Olusegun Odusola, to raise a seven-man panel to investigate the allegations of gross misconduct levelled against him.
Last week, All Progressives Congress National Chairman Alhaji Abdullahi Ganduje set up a reconciliation committee to resolve the crisis between the deputy governor and the House of Assembly. The panel has not visited the state. Oladiji said the constitution stipulated that the Assembly should wait for seven days for the embattled deputy governor to respond, which has lapsed.
However, the state chairman, Ade Adetimehin, said the chapter would work with the national body for the resolution of the impasse.A source said many aides who sided with Ayedatiwa, especially those already penciled to be deputy governor, Chief of Staff, Secretary to Government by him may be sacked soon.
He added that the same scenario played out in 1983, which led to destruction of wealth and death of many residents of the state.
