Ondo State’s Deputy Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa’s apology to Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu has failed to sway the State Assembly.
The Speaker, Hon Olamide Oladiji, has emphasized that the apology remains a personal matter between Aiyedatiwa and the Governor, and it does not concern the Assembly.
Speaker Oladiji firmly stated that the Assembly is set to persist with the impeachment process against Aiyedatiwa, despite the public apology.
