Ondo: Tinubu’s intervention provides constitutional solution – Tunji Abayomi

Constitutional lawyer and human rights activist Dr Tunji Abayomi has said that the intervention of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on the political crisis in Ondo State has provided the most appropriate constitutional solution to it.

The foremost lawyer who addressed a press conference in Akure, the state capital, on Tuesday, said the intervention of President Tinubu was timely, adding that the intervention saved the state from political crisis and constitutional logjam.

He said,  only one governor can exist in a state at a single time, saying that “the constitution allows only one governor in a state at a time. There cannot be two governors as long as an elected governor is in office,”

He said illness in itself does not remove a governor from office but a governor can only be removed due to permanent incapacity or law through impeachment by the state House of Assembly.
