The Oyo State House of Assembly has on yesterday , Wednesday, June 15th 2022 initiated the impeachment process of the current State Deputy Governor Mr Rauf Olaniyan.

Recall that in a previous development, Mr Olamiyan had dumped the PDP and moved to the APC, amidst reports that his Principal Governor Seyi Makinde had decided to drop him as running mate ahead of the Oyo State 2023 Gubernatorial elections.

Yesterday , lawmakers in the Oyo State House of Assembly who are mostly PDP members have begun the impeachment process for Mr Olamiyan.

The 5 point impeachment petition was read during yesterday’s ’s plenary session presided over by Hon Adebo Ogundoyin, the Speaker of the House.
The petition accused the Deputy Governor of abuse of power, financial recklessness, gross misconduct, insubordination etc.

The Clerk of the House was instructed by the Speaker to immediately write the Deputy Governor informing him of the impeachment process and mandating him to respond within the space of 7 days.

Is this impeachment process a political witchhunt intended to intimidate the Deputy Governor for leaving the PDP? Or does his Impeachment have merit?

We will keep you posted as the story unfolds
