National Council of Muslim Youths Organisations, NACOMYO has appealed to lawmakers in Oyo State to avoid plunging the state into another round of political crisis with the planned impeachment of the Deputy Governor, Engineer Rauf Olaniyan.
This is contained in a statement issued in Ibadan and signed by the Coordinator, NACOMYO, Oyo State Chapter, Alhaji Dawood Afolabi.
The council opined that the decision of the lawmakers could not be dissociated from the defection of Engineer Olaniyan from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP to the opposition party All Progressives Congress, APC.
The group enjoined the speaker, Hon. Adebo Ogundoyin and the other members of the state assembly to learn from the quashed impeachment of former governor Rashidi Ladoja and its attendant crises and halt without further delay the process of Impeachment of the Deputy Governor.
“The process,” the group said, “if continued will expose the legislature to an avalanche of legal landmines that will not profit anyone as one of the counts against the deputy governor is misappropriation of money whereas the deputy governor is not in charge of money”
NACOMYO urged Governor Seyi Makinde not to allow himself to be distracted in the task of building the state taking the state with the removal of Engr Olaniyan, rather he should endeavor to mend fences with his deputy and move on.
It would be recalled that on Wednesday this week 24 out of the 33 lawmakers in the Oyo State House of Assembly had signed the impeachment notice forwarded to the Deputy Governor by the Clerk of the House, Yetunde Awe where he was asked to respond to the allegations leveled against him within seven days.
