The appeal against the state’s deputy governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, was withdrawn by the Ondo state House of Assembly on Thursday from the appellate court located in Abuja.
On September 26, Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal High Court in Abuja issued an order preventing the governor, chief judge, House of Assembly, speaker, and other individuals from carrying out their intended impeachment of Aiyedatiwa until a pending motion on notice for interlocutory injunctions was resolved.
However, on October 3, 2023, the Speaker and the National Assembly filed an appeal.
Remi Olatubora, SAN, the applicant’s attorney, informed the court during the hearings that the parties to the dispute had come to a political resolution.
