Following this, Deputy Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa committed to inclusive governance, while Speaker Oladiji Olamide declared a halt to impeachment moves against Aiyedatiwa after a meeting with Tinubu and state officials, including members of the All Progressives Congress.
Aiyedatiwa who declared his decision to maintain the status quo and unite all the warring factions said, “I want to say that I pledge to all of you that I embrace every one of you. I put behind all that has happened before now. I’ve let go and also let God, just as the Bola Ahmed Tinubu has advised us.
“And I want to say that no offence, no guile in my mind whatsoever. All that has happened is politics. Impeachment is part of politics. If you survive it, it is also politics. It has come. I’ve survived it and every other thing in his past.
“It is one big family and our father has intervened to bring all the children together to remain under the same family and with the position that I occupy, I will carry every one of you along in every decision that needs to be taken and everything that we do we will work together; the executive and the legislature will work together to ensure that governance is on the right track.”
However, Ajulo, known for his legal expertise, criticized the Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s approach, emphasizing that Tinubu did not consult the Attorney General.
Ajulo stated, “I say this with the fact that Bola Tinubu today happens to have one of the best lawyers as the Attorney General, as a chief law officer that should advise him.
“This is someone I have high regard for. I am very sure and I want to believe he is not being carried along to advise him properly,” he emphasized.
“Tinubu has made a mistake. He should have allowed the constitutional provisions to take its course. Ondo State people are sophisticated. The right thing needs to be done,” he concluded.
