This followed the Deputy Governor’s failure to respond to the letter of gross misconduct served him through his chief protocol officer on September 25.
Recall the House of Assembly had begun impeachment move against Aiyedatiwa last week, serving him with notice containing no fewer than 14 allegations bordering on gross misconduct.After the letter of gross misconduct was first issued, the Deputy Governor was unavailable to receive it, prompting the House to approach the court for a substituted service of the notice on him.
He remarked that upon the conclusion of its investigation and within 3 three months after its inauguration, the panel shall submit its report to the House of Assembly. Earlier, while moving the motion, the majority leader, Oluwole Ogunmolasuyi, noted that the process is in line with the Nigerian Constitution of 1999 as amended.
