According to a statement signed by its legal representative, Femi Emodamori, on Saturday, the Ondo Assembly clarified that it has diligently followed the impeachment procedures outlined in the Constitution, reaching the stage where the Chief Judge is tasked with forming a 7-member panel to investigate the allegations against the Deputy Governor.

The Assembly explained that the Chief Judge informed them that he had received an ex parte order, which the Deputy Governor obtained from the Abuja Judicial Division of the Federal High Court on September 26, 2023. This order ‘restrained’ the Chief Judge from convening the Panel until the Court could hear all parties involved and determine the merits of the application or the case brought forth by the Deputy Governor.

The House further noted that it is promptly pursuing the necessary legal actions to annul or dismiss the order and/or the entire case at the Federal High Court, in order to free the Chief Judge to proceed with the impeachment process to its rightful conclusion.
