The leader of Ekiti State caucus in the House of
Representatives, Honourable Opeyemi Bamidele, on
Tuesday, tendered his resignation as the leader of
the caucus, saying that his decision was to enable
him pursue his aspiration to be governor of Ekiti
State by 2014.
Nigerian Tribune recalled that some months back,
Honourable Bamidele was sacked by his five
colleagues namely: Honourables Robinson Ajiboye,
Bamidele Faparusi, Bimbo Daramola, Ifeoluwa
Arowosoge and Oyetunde Ojo and the caucus
subsequently named Ajiboye as its new leader.
The action of the lawmakers was sequel to
Honourable Bamidele’s open interest to contest the
2014 governorship election in the state.
It took the intervention of the leadership of the
defunct Action Congress of Nigeria to order the
colleagues of Honourable Bamidele to rescind their
decision, with clarification that the lawmaker had
every right to contest the 2014 governorship
election.
Honourable Bamidele, in a statement issued in
Abuja and made available to newsmen entitled:
“Resignation as Ekiti caucus leader in the House of
Representatives” thanked his colleagues for their
support during his tenure as the caucus leader.
The statement copied to Asiwaju Bola Tinubu,
Speaker, Aminu Tambuwal and Femi Gbajabiamila,
read in part: “I hereby resign, with immediate effect,
my appointment as the leader of Ekiti State caucus
in the House of Representatives of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria.
“This resignation has become a cogent and
compelling step for me to take at this time to enable
me pursue, by the special grace and uncommon
favour of Almighty God, my aspiration to be
governor of Ekiti State by 2014 based on my
personal conviction and in response to the popular
demand and clarion call of well-meaning Ekiti sons
and daughters at home and in the diaspora who
believe that our dear state needs a critical
intervention at this time so as not to become a failed
state.
“I can no longer tarry in responding to the yearnings
and aspirations of the violated children, the deserted
youth, the disillusioned women, the unfulfilled civil
and public servants, the neglected artisans, the
jobless and underemployed men as well as the heart
broken elder statesmen and frustrated founding
fathers, who genuinely desire to see the emergence
of a rallying point (across political and ideological
divides) that would herald in a new and united Ekiti
State where our past glory will be brought back from
sabbatical,” the statement said.
