The All Progressive Congress (APC) in Ondo State has described the impeachment of the state deputy governor, Alhaji Ali Olanusi as temporary, as the party vowed to reclaim the deputy governor’s office through legal means. Find statement after cut...
In a statement signed by the Publicity secretary of the party in the state, Omoba Abayomi Adesanya, the party said it is laughable that the rubber stamp House of Assembly could hurriedly impeach the deputy governor, and accept nomination of another person in a haste.
According to the party, the whole impeachment drama was a charade which will be thrown away by a court of competent jurisdiction.
APC alleged that governor Mimiko has turned politics in the sunshine state into a desperate affair, saying that nothing happened to Mimiko when he decamped and joined the PDP.
The Statement reads, “the impeachment of Alhaji Ali Olanusi as the deputy governor of Ondo State is temporary. The whole process of the impeachment was a sham and charade. How on earth will a deputy governor be impeached within five days?
” It shows that there were unholy alliance among the State Governor, Olusegun Mimiko, Chief Judge, Olasehinde Kumuyi and the governor stooges who called themselves State lawmakers to embark on illegal process to impeach the deputy governor.
“It was clear to the people of the state that before directive of the State Assembly Speaker to serve Olanusi the impeachment notice, the embattled deputy governor was not in the state. Without any court order, the Speaker directed them to paste the notice on the quarters of the deputy governor and this is unlawful.
“The Chief Judge, due to his relationship with Mimiko because we were aware that he was the Mimiko best man during his wedding has been assisting the governor to executive illegality. He set up a panel and a panel that was expected to seat for three months by giving room for fair hearing with the parties involved, only sat for five hours just because they have been instructions on ground for them to act upon.
“We however insist that the newly sworn-in Deputy Governor, Alhaji Laisisi Oluboyo will only be there temporary as we still have faith in the judiciary that illegality perpetrated by the State Assembly will be set aside very soon”.
