Court Order
Mimiko Deputy who is reported to have been impeached
today has warned the Governor of Ondo state to respect the
subsisting court order in respect to the office.
Olanusi insisted that he has not been legally impeached.
His lawyer , Oluwole Kayode said a court order granted On
Thursday barred the Assembly Members from impeaching him;
“Another action in respect of the same office and the
impeachment process is pending in court and will come up on
the 7th of May 2015,” he said, noting that that the hurried
nature of the impeachment process is suspect.
“I think public office holders and people who are put in
position to defend the constitution must be law abiding, ” .“In
the light of this disobedience to court order and the impunity
displayed in the course of the impeachment proceedings, the
Deputy Governor is on solid ground.” – Mr. Oluwole said
