The Ondo State House of Assembly has told the Deputy Governor, Mr Lucky Aiyedatiwa, to stop the legal cases he started against them for trying to remove him from office. 

They said this is one of the things he has to do if he wants them to settle the matter peacefully.

The lawmakers had stopped the process of removing the deputy governor on Tuesday, after some leaders of their party, the All Progressives Congress, intervened.

“The Speaker expressed the desire of the House leadership to further consult with members of the House cutting across party lines, on the political solution as proposed by the APC.

“The House, therefore, hopes that in the same spirit of genuine wish for a political solution, the deputy governor would take immediate steps to withdraw the multiple court cases he filed over the same impeachment.

“This would allow the stakeholders to freely discuss the settlement proposals and prevent actions or comments over a matter that is still sub judice,” the Chairman of the House Committee on Information, Mr Olatunji Oshati, said in a statement on Wednesday.

Recall that Aiyedatiwa had gone to court in Abuja and Akure to challenge his removal.
