As to the Assembly's account, the suspension of the process was solely attributed to the stance taken by Olusegun Odusola, the Chief Judge of the state.
According to a statement released over the weekend by Femi Emodamori, the legal representative of the House of Assembly, it was asserted that the impeachment process will be pursued until a reasonable resolution is reached.
Olatunji Oshati, the Chairman of the House Committee on Information, announced on Friday that the Assembly intends to halt the impeachment proceedings due to the ex-parte decision issued by the Abuja Federal High Court. The Ondo State Assembly has decided to suspend the ongoing impeachment proceedings against Deputy Governor Lucky A
Emodamori emphasized that the assertion of suspension does not align with the stance of the Assembly.
According to his statement, numerous judgements from the highest courts in Nigeria have consistently upheld the principle that no court possesses the authority to interfere in an impeachment process, provided that the House of Assembly adheres to all constitutional procedures.
The Chief Judge, in his well publicized response to my Client, explicitly acknowledged his awareness of the aforementioned provisions outlined in Section 188(10) of the Constitution, and even cited them word for word.
The Chief Judge expressed his preference for the ex parte Order, which he believed constrained his actions, to be vacated or set aside prior to proceeding. The Chief Judge demonstrates a clear inclination towards adopting a cautious approach.
