The Speaker of the Ondo State House of Assembly, Olamide Oladiji, told the Court of Appeal that parties had reached a “political solution” to the crisis of leadership rocking the state, hence his withdrawal of the appeal against the Deputy Governor, Mr Lucky Aiyedatiwa. The Deputy Governor had dragged the House, Governor Rotimi Akeredolu and others to court over moves to remove him from office over alleged acts of gross misconduct. He had secured an interim order from the Federal High Court restraining the Ondo State House of Assembly from initiating impeachment proceedings against him. But, the Assembly, citing lack of jurisdiction, had appealed to set aside the order of the Federal High Court.
