The turmoil in Ondo State politics continues to aggravate as the State’s House of Assembly has directed the Chief Judge, Olanrewaju Akeredolu to investigate allegations against the Deputy Governor, Agboola Ajayi.

The House is divided due to efforts by 14 lawmakers to impeach the Deputy Governor and nine members, said to be in support of the Deputy Governor, blocking the plot.

In a letter, the Speaker of the House Rt Hon. Bamidele Oleyelogun asked the Chief Judge to set up a seven-man panel to investigate the Deputy Governor, according to the Nation.

“You are hereby requested to set up a seven-man panel to investigate the notice of allegations of Gross Misconduct dated 7th July 2020 by members of the House against Hon. Alfred Agboola Ajayi, the Deputy Governor of Ondo State,” Oleyelogun said.

“By the resolution of the House today, pursuant of S.118(3) and (4) of the 1999 constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended). It was resolved that the allegations be investigated forthwith.

“It is in line with the above that I request that you set up a seven-man panel to conduct the said investigations as resolved by the Honourable House. And the panel shall, as soon as possible, report back to the House,” the Speaker stated.
