The People’s Democratic Party in Ondo state has decried the absence of Governor Rotimi Akeredolu in the state since April this year, demanding that the House of Assembly commence the impeachment process of the governor for violating the 1999 Constitution as amended.
A statement by the state Publicity Secretary, Kennedy Peretei, claimed that the state ha sbeen on auto-pilot at the absence of the governor, calling on the lawmakers to act in accordance with the constitution to save the state for slipping into anarchy.
The party also called on the State Assembly to invoke sections 189(1) to cause a Medical Panel to be instituted to ascertain Akeredolu’s medical status and do the needful in the interest of the people of the state.
But the state House of Assembly, through its speaker, Oluwole Ogunmolasuyi, has urged the people of the state to ignore the opposition party, noting that the governor has been performing his constitutional duties and has not breached any aspect of the Constitution.
Recall that the party had asked the governor to either resume or resign following his absence in the state since he returned from his medical vacation Abroad.
