The Ondo State House of Assembly withdrew the appeal against Deputy Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa on Thursday from the Court of Appeal in Abuja. During the hearing, the applicant's attorney, Remi Olatubora, SAN, informed the court that a political resolution had been reached between the disputing parties.

Recalling events, on September 26, Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal High Court in Abuja issued an order preventing various individuals, including the governor, chief judge, House of Assembly, and speaker, from proceeding with the intended impeachment of Aiyedatiwa until a pending motion on notice for interlocutory injunctions was resolved.

However, on October 3, 2023, the Speaker and the National Assembly filed an appeal.

Meanwhile, Deputy Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa is currently presiding over the state executive council meeting in Akure, the state capital. This meeting follows months of political tension between the deputy governor and Governor Rotimi Akeredolu's loyalists.

Recall that President Bola Tinubu convened a peace meeting in Abuja last week, where it was agreed that the deputy governor should continue performing his duties. The ongoing executive council meeting suggests a resolution to the political impasse in the state.
