Lucky Aiyedatiwa, the state’s deputy governor, has received an impeachment notice from the Ondo House of Assembly due to allegations of serious wrongdoing.
Following an urgent plenary meeting in the state capital of Akure on Wednesday, Aiyedatiwa received the notice of impeachment.
The deputy governor was alleged to have approved millions of naira for the purchase of a bulletproof SUV for his personal use.

It also noted that Aiyedatiwa allegedly asked that the money be sourced from the state palliative fund and gave the approval while Governor Rotimi Akeredolu was recuperating in Germany.
At a plenary session, the majority leader of the House, Wole Ogunmolasuyi, quoted Section 188 of the constitution to justify the need to write Aiyedatiwa over the allegations.
The motion was seconded by Tope Agbulu, a lawmaker representing Akoko Southwest II.
However, the Speaker, Olamide Oladiji, directed Benjamin Jaiyeola, the clerk of the House, to write the deputy governor, informing him of the allegations levelled against him.
Aiyedatiwa had acted for Akeredolu when the governor was away on a three-month medical leave in Germany.
