Lawmakers in Nigeria’s Ondo State House of Assembly renew demands related to the impeachment of Speaker Olamide Oladiji, accusing Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa of interfering in what they describe as internal legislative proceedings. According to reports, the dispute escalates as lawmakers insist that Oladiji must be removed and argue the governor is working to protect him. Daily Post Nigeria reports that, on Monday, 21 of the 26 assembly members support efforts to remove the Speaker, framing the matter as a majority-led legislative action. The Punch similarly reports that the lawmakers issue a fresh ultimatum and allege undue interference by the governor. Both sources present the impeachment process as contested within the legislature, with the lawmakers’ position centred on maintaining control over their internal process and resisting executive involvement. The accounts do not describe any resolution yet, but indicate the standoff is ongoing and intensifying as the ultimatum is issued. The dispute remains tied to competing claims about the role of the governor and the legitimacy of steps taken in the impeachment effort.
