Ondo State Deputy Governor, Mr. Lucky Aiyedatiwa, returned on Wednesday after meeting with President Bola Tinubu in Abuja to address the political crisis.
The Ondo State House of Assembly sought Aiyedatiwa’s impeachment amid strained relations with Governor Rotimi Akeredolu.
The Assembly revealed on Tuesday that Aiyedatiwa was asked to submit an undated resignation letter following the Abuja meeting.
Despite displeasure from Aiyedatiwa’s camp, he resumed office on Wednesday and is set to preside over the state Executive Council meeting on Thursday.
The impeachment process faced obstacles as the Chief Judge declined the Assembly’s request for a panel.
President Tinubu’s intervention is anticipated to bring resolution and revive commerce in the state, according to APC chieftain Otunba Olumide Araoyinbo.
However, Concerned Elites of Ondo State accused the Speaker of distorting resolutions from the Tinubu meeting in a statement on Wednesday.
