OYO HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY BEGINS IMPEACHMENT PROCESS OF DEPUTY GOVERNOR
Read Time:42 Second
On Wednesday, the Oyo State House of Assembly began the process of impeaching the state’s deputy governor, Mr Rauf Olaniyan.
This came after the Speaker of the Assembly, Honourable Adebo Ogundoyin, read a 5-point petition and notice of allegation against the deputy governor during Wednesday’s plenary.
Gross misconduct, abuse of power, financial irresponsibility, abandonment of office/official duty, insubordination, and other charges have been levelled against the deputy governor.
The petition addressed to the Speaker of the Assembly was signed by 24 lawmakers.
Following that, the Speaker directed the Clerk of the House, Mrs Yetunde Awe, to write to the deputy governor, ordering him to answer to the charges within seven days.
The impeachment procedure appears to be in response to the state deputy governor’s recent switch from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
