The Court of Appeal in Abuja has rejected an application filed by Ondo State House of Assembly Speaker, Olamide Oladiji, seeking an expedited hearing of the Ondo lawmakers’ appeal against the Federal High Court’s interim injunction preventing impeachment proceedings against the state’s Deputy Governor, Aiyedatiwa Lucky.
In their application, the appellants requested an abridgement of time to file brief of arguments, citing alleged gross misconduct by the deputy governor as the basis for initiating the impeachment proceedings on September 20, 2023.
