The Ondo state Deputy Governor, Alhaji Ali Olanusi, who is
reported to have been impeached, has warned that there is a subsisting court
order that the status quo be maintained in respect of that office. In effect,
the Deputy Governor insists he has not legally been removed from office.
According to his lawyer, Oluwole Kayode, the court order was
granted last Thursday, April 23rd, and he emphasized that it touches and
affects the office and the holder.
"Another action in respect of the same office and the
impeachment process is pending in court and will come up on the 7th of May
2015,” he said, noting that that the hurried nature of the impeachment process
is suspect.
"I think public office holders and people who are put in
position to defend the constitution must be law abiding,” Mr. Oluwole
said. “In the light of this disobedience
to court order and the impunity displayed in the course of the impeachment
proceedings, the Deputy Governor is on solid ground."
