The House, in a letter read by the Clerk, accused the deputy governor of financial recklessness, gross misconduct and insubordination among other allegations, shortly after his defection from the Peoples Democratic Party to the All Progressives Congress.

Olaniyan had also filed his response to the allegations against him and the lawmakers had said the matter would come up for discussion on Wednesday (today).

Ogundoyin had said the petition met the two-thirds requirements to initiate the impeachment process.

Olaniyan had recently defected from the PDP to the APC.
