Yesterday Monday August 4th, the panel of inquiry listened to the state governor who responded to all the allegations leveled against him. The panel subsequently invited the lawmakers to present the evidence of gross misconduct by the state Governor but they however declined the invitation, stating that the committee was unconstitutional as most of the members were card carrying members of political parties which is against the constitution of any legal panel of inquiry.

The legal team presented a letter of protest written by the lawmakers to the panel, arguing that some members of the panel had political affiliations and that their appointments into the panel of enquiry negates the provision of Section 188 in the composition of the panel.
