The Chairman of the House Committee on Information, Olatunji Oshati, confirmed the decision on Friday evening. According to him, the assembly would comply with the court's order, leading to the temporary suspension of the impeachment process. “It is not about being arrogant with power, it is about holding public officers accountable.
It also shows that the process of impeachment transcends the monopoly of the legislature as we can see that the judiciary has stalled it. “This is to show that it is not about witch-hunting, it is about carrying out our oversight functions.” The decision comes after the Chief Judge of the state, Justice Olusegun Odusola, declined to set up a panel to probe the allegations against Aiyedatiwa as he cited subsisting court order.
