In the suit, which was struck out by Justice Ahmed Mohammed, the plaintiffs, including speaker of the House of Assembly (described as being occupied by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) factional Speaker, Olugbemi Joseph Dele); Ekiti StateHouse of Assembly, Fayose and Olusola through their counsel, Ahmed Raji (SAN), had approached the court seeking to stop impeachment moves against the governor.
When the matter was called for hearing yesterday, counsel to the plaintiffs, Raji, informed the court of his client's intention to withdraw the case.
