Mr Aiyedatiwa said this in an application to amend the originating summons as Justice Akintan Osade on Friday in Akure took arguments from both parties., has asked the State High Court to drop Governor Rotimi Akeredolu as a defendant from his suit against the state House of Assembly over its move to impeach him.
Although the defendants did not file a counter-affidavit to the application, they opposed it on points of law. It contended that the suit was premature since the Assembly is yet to conclude the proceedings of removal, especially when there was no request before the chief judge to constitute a panel of investigators as of the time the suit was filed.The Assembly also contended that the case constitutes an abuse of the court process because a similar suit had been filed before the Federal High Court in Abuja by the deputy governor.
“The normal procedure would be to take the objection together with the substantive suit,” the deputy governor held.
