Members of the Ondo State House of Assembly this morning drove the final nail into State Deputy Governor, Alhaji Ali Olanusi’s coffin, impeaching him for what they referred to as “gross misconduct”.
Majority Leader of the House of Assembly, Ifedayo Akinsoyinu moved the motion for the impeachment of the deputy governor–a motion which was hurriedly seconded by the Deputy Majority leader of the Assembly, Oyebo Aladatan.
The House claimed Olanusi violated section 188 (9) of the 1999 Constitution.
The House had earlier received the report of the 7-man panel set up by the State Chief Judge, Olasehinde Kumuyi.
22 members of the House backed Olanusi’s impeachment; ending the game of musical chairs that has been his lot since he defected to the APC after a falling out with State Governor Olusegun Mimiko.
Olanusi had alleged that Mimiko often treated him badly as his number two man, kept him in the dark on State affairs; that he only showed up at his office to read newspapers and was seldom handed any official assignments as Deputy Governor.
He had dared the lawmakers to impeach him a fortnight ago and today’s development means that they duly obliged.
