petition by Justice Olamide Folahanmi Oloyede of the state High Court, seeking
the impeachment of Governor Rauf Aregbesola.
The 26-member Assembly expressed its readiness to address the
petition after acknowledging receipt of the governor ‘s response.
In a statement by the Speaker, Najeem Salam, the detailed
response of the governor was obtained on Tuesday.
According to the statement, obtaining Aregbesola’s response
had compelled the parliament to set in motion the investigation of various
allegations in the petition.

in its investigation of all the issues raised by Justice Oloyede. This is to
get to a logical end and to give all parties a sense of justice without fear or
favour.
“The Assembly is inviting Justice Oloyede to prepare for
personal appearance before the investigative committee that would soon fix a
date for looking into the petition.
“The Speaker has constituted an investigative committee that
will look into the petition and the committee has the mandate to interact with
Justice Oloyede in person, for she is in the best position to further shed
light on her position.”

justice.
