Deputy Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa has requested the Ondo State High Court to stop the Assembly from proceeding with the impeachment proceedings, while a group called Ondo Redemption Front (ORF) has called on the National Assembly to intervene. Aiyedatiwa has alleged threats to his life and strange calls. In a suit filed at the High Court, he argued that the Assembly was not competent to proceed on his impeachment, breaching his constitutional and fundamental rights to fair hearing.
