Ondo House of Assembly had suspended the process for the removal of the deputy governor on the order of the Federal High Court in Abuja.
The House had earlier suspended the process on the order of the Federal High Court in Abuja. The court granted the order in a suit filed by Mr Aiyedatiwa over the move to remove him from office for alleged misconduct.
As a condition for accepting a political solution, the House had demanded that the deputy governor withdraw his cases in court.So, in the fresh letter, copies of which were made available to journalists in Akure on Monday, the Assembly again directed the chief judge to set up the probe panel. It said the interim injunction of the Federal High Court restraining further actions in the process had expired.
“However, from the facts and legal advice at the disposal of the House, the said Order has now elapsed and/or become extinguished by the operation of the law, in view of the clear provisions of Order 26 Rule 10 & of the Federal High Court Rules, 2019, which states as follows: “Your lordship would recall that the ex parte order was made on September 26, 2023 , after which the case was adjourned to October 9, 2023. The 3rd Defendant in the case filed a motion on October 4, 2023 to discharge the Order and/or strike out the case for want of jurisdiction.“A copy of the motion is attached hereto as Annexure ODSH 2. Fourteen days from October 4, 2023 when the motion was filed, terminated on or about October 18, 2023.
Mr Aiyedatiwa has the ambition to succeed his boss but is being rebuffed by members of the family of the governor and their associates in the APC in the state.
