Ondo State Government says it has uncovered plans by the state Deputy Governor, Agboola Ajayi to sponsor two protests simultaneously in Akure and Abuja to force Governor Rotimi Akeredolu to handover to him.
The protests tagged
‘Occupy Alagbaka Government house”, according to the state government is one of tactics deployed by the Deputy Governor to get to power desperately.
Addressing a press conference in Akure, the state commissioner for Information and Orientation, Donald Ojogo said, it is morally wrong for a sitting deputy Governor to ask his principal to handover to him when he is still alive.
Ojogo alleged that the Deputy Governor has perfected plans to
release funds for the two protests in Akure and Abuja on Wednesday.
The commissioner appealed to the Deputy Governor to reduce his level of desperation to become the Governor at all costs
He said all the distractions from Agboola Ajayi will not affect the running of Government in the state
He noted that it is saddening that the Deputy Governor wants Governor dead so that he can take over power in the state.
Ojogo urged the deputy Governor to follow the path of honour by resigning honourably.
He said, “The Deputy Governor should resign honourably if he is a man of honour.
” The Governor is not interested in the impeachment of Agboola Ajayi who is already drowning . You don’t argue with a drowning man.
“The executive has more business to do than sponsoring his impeachment. That’s the business of the state house of assembly”.
