The Ondo State House of Assembly on Wednesday has commenced the impeachment process of the deputy governor, Mr Lucky Aiyedatiwa.
The lawmakers accused the embattled deputy governor of being involved in some acts of gross misconduct while in office as the acting governor.
The house at the plenary on Wednesday consequently directed the Clerk of the House, Mr Benjamin Jaiyeola, to formally write Aiyedatiwa the allegations levelled against him.
DAILY GIST gathered that the deputy governor is under investigation for alleged gross misuse of office.
It was alleged that Aiyedatiwa while he was the acting governor, following the medical vacation of the governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, he reportedly approved N300 million for the purchase of a bulletproof SUV for his personal use.
It could be recalled that the Governor Akeredolu had travelled to Germany for medical treatment for three months.
After his return to the country, he sacked all the media aides attached to the deputy governor over alleged insubordination.
Aiyedatiwa was alleged to have ordered the N300 million to be sourced from the Palliative fund, which was from the Federal government to the state in order to cushion the effect of the removal of fuel subsidy.
The petition which has been signed by Nine out of 26 Members of the House was read during the plenary presided over by the Speaker, Mr Olamide Oladiji.
