The Ondo State Chief Judge has rejected the House of Assembly’s request to set up a 7-man probe panel to investigate the Deputy Governor of the State, Agboola Ajayi.

Ajayi recently defected from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and he has indicated interest to run against Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, the governor, in the October gubernatorial elections.

The Ondo State National Assembly on Tuesday commenced the impeachment process against Ajayi.

Fourteen members of the assembly asked the clerk of the house to serve a notice of impeachment on the deputy governor.

Speaker of the Ondo State House of Assembly, Bamidele Oleyelogun in a letter dated July 7, 2020, asked the Ondo Chief Judge to constitute a seven-man panel to probe Ajayi.

The letter read in part:

“By the resolution of the house today pursuant to Section 188 (3) and (4) of the 1999 Constitution as amended, it was resolved that the allegations be investigated forthwith.

“It is in line with the above that request that you set up a seven-man panel to conduct the investigation as resolved by the honourable house and the panel shall, as soon as possible, report back to the House.”
