The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State has
called on Lasisi Oluboyo to stop parading himself as
deputy governor.
It advised him to vacate the office for the impeached
deputy governor, Ali Olanusi, or risk jail for false
assumption of office.
A statement in Akure by its Publicity Secretary, Abayomi
Adesanya, said: “We have it on good authority with
incontrovertible evidence that the oath of allegiance and
oath of office purportedly taken on April 27 by Lasisi
Oluboyo were administered by the Attorney-General and
Commissioner for Justice, Eyitayo Jegede.”
It said: “This was against the provisions of Sections 185
(2) and 187 (2) of the 1999 Constitution. Sections 185
and 187 empower the Chief Judge, Justice Olasehinde
Kumuyi, to administer the oaths of allegiance and oath of
office on the governor and deputy governor of Ondo
State.
“Contrary to these constitutional provisions, Justice
Kumuyi delegated his constitutional responsibilities and
powers to Jegede for reasons best known to him.
“The chief judge, thereafter, issued a false certificate
claiming to have personally administered the oaths,
which the government has been relying on to cover up
this constitutional aberration.
“The CJ’s action is illegal and an abuse of office. In view
of this illegality, in the eyes of the law, Oluboyo’s
swearing-in is null and void.
“Therefore, he is not known to law. He should stop
parading himself as deputy governor and we advise him
to vacate the office or face criminal prosecution that
may land him in jail.”
Adesanya praised the National Judicial Council (NJC) for
the query issued to Justice Kumuyi.
“We appeal to the NJC to thoroughly investigate the
matter, and that Justice Kumuyi be punished for
abdicating his constitutional responsibilities.
“Similarly, we are calling on the Legal Practitioners
Disciplinary Committee to sanction and debar Jegede
(SAN), because he cannot claim ignorance of the law for
his action.”
