There’s a loud rumble ongoing in the political atmosphere in Ondo State as the Ilaje Development Summit Group, IDSG, has appealed to Governor Rotimi Akeredolu to halt the alleged impeachment plot targeting his deputy, Lucky Orimisan Ayedatiwa.
IDSG, in a statement signed by the Group Deputy Executive Administrator, Dr. Ola Judah Ajidibo, stated that “the Constitution mandates the Deputy Governor to act in absence of the Governor, but this has been truncated as some plotters planned to distract the Deputy Governor, Hon. Lucky Orimisan Ayedatiwa, from discharging his duties thereby accusing him of domestic abuse of his wife, Mrs. Oluwaseun Ayedatiwa”.
The group noted that the Speaker of the House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Olamide Oladiji, during the inauguration of members of the state House Assembly violated the order protocol by disregarding the office of the Deputy Governor, adding that the continued harassment of Aiyedatiwa is a deliberate ploy to slight the Ilaje nation from which he emerged.
It urged Akeredolu to call the perpetrators of the plot to order as it is a great disservice to Ondo and designed to ruin the reputation of Ayedatiwa.
Aiyedatiwa was accused of beating his wife, Oluwaseun. The scandal was denied by the Deputy Governor, describing it as an attempt by his political distractors.
InsightMedia has reported that a civil society group, Society for Women Empowerment has called on the Deputy Governor to allow his wife deny the allegations in a video.
The group said it has evidence of all the domestic violence against the Deputy Governor.
