Lucky Aiyedatiwa, deputy governor of Ondo state, says the
impeachment plot against him was all political.
Aiyedatiwa spoke on Friday night at a meeting with President
Bola Tinubu, members of the Ondo state house of assembly, and stalwarts of the
All Progressives Congress (APC), at the Aso Rock villa.
Rotimi Akeredolu, governor of Ondo, who has been locked in a
cold war with his deputy, returned to Nigeria in the first week of September
after a three-month medical leave in Germany.
Since his return, there have been attempts by the house of
assembly to impeach Aiyedatiwa.
At the reconciliation meeting held at the behest of the
president, the deputy governor said there should be mutual respect between him
and other public office holders in Ondo.
“I want to say that with no offence, no guile in my mind
whatsoever,” Aiyedatiwa said.
“All that has happened is politics. Impeachment is part of
politics. If you survive it, it is also politics. It has come. I have survived
it, and every other thing is in the past.
“All the executive
council members, I want to plead with all of you to cooperate with me, with the
governor, so that we can bring the dividends of democracy to our people.
“We should respect one another regarding the offices we
occupy and our age differences. So, it’s going to be mutual respect.
“And I want to assure the party structure that we will work
together because the party is supreme. We will always give you your due
respect.”
The deputy governor said he has put behind him all that has
happened.
