Embattled Ondo State Deputy Governor Agboola Ajayi has been advised by his kith and kin from Ese-Odo Local Government Area, where he hails from, to resign his position for defecting from the All Progressive Congress, APC to the People’s Democratic Party, PDP.
The House of Assembly last week began an impeachment process with a letter to the Chief Judge to constitute a panel to investigate its allegations of gross misconduct against the deputy governor.
But the CJ has declined, saying the House of Assembly had not met all the conditions.
Ese-Odo council APC leaders maintained that the deputy governor should resign, having dumped the party that brought him to power.
At an enlarged party meeting held at Igbekebo, the local government headquarters, the leaders flayed the deputy governor for staying put in office after castigating the party that brought him into office.
The meeting, which was presided over by the APC Deputy State Chairman, Agabra Ikoto Atili, was attended by notable leaders, including Commissioner for Information and Orientation Donald Ojogo and Deputy Chief of Staff Jimi Kuforiji.
The meeting also expelled the House of Assembly member representing Ese-Odo Constituency, Mr. Success Taiwo Torukerijoh, for anti-party activities and misrepresentation of the APC.
The motions on resignation and expulsion were moved by Hon Richard Omosehin and seconded jointly by Ojogo and Hon. Corporal Nanaopiri.
