THE Ondo State House of Assembly, yesterday, described the allegation that it planned to impeach the Deputy Governor of the state, Alhaji Ali Olanusi, as wicked and a ploy by the opposition parties to create confusion in the state.
.
The Deputy Speaker of the House of Assembly, Dare Emiola, who dismissed the allegation as baseless, in Akure, said there was no truth in the allegation.

A local publication and some national dailies had reported that the House of Assembly had concluded plans to remove the deputy governor from office on account of ill health.

Governor Olusegun Mimiko had equally described the insinuation as wrong and baseless, saying the rumour emanated from detractors who were bent on causing confusion between him and his deputy.

Mimiko said: "I was surprised to hear that the assembly is planning to begin impeachment process against the deputy governor. There is no such plan in the offing in Ondo State. I am not aware of any such move.
