* At a point in their relationship, the Deputy Governor commanded so much political influence courtesy of the latitude of freedom extended to him by Governor Akeredolu that he was misconstrued in some quarters to be the king behind the throne. Virtually all the political appointments in Ondo South were handed over by the Governor to his Deputy to coordinate, first in the annals of history of the state. Several times the Governor was away from the seat of power, several times he handed over the instruments of power to Hon Ajayi in accordance with the spirit and letters of the Constitution in the thinking that the Deputy would extend to him the 100 percent loyalty expected from a well-treated subordinate. How wrong the Governor was.

*Be that as it may, for members of the public, who are not yet conversant with why the Governor and his Deputy seem to have parted ways, two reasons will suffice, in the interim. In the coming days, more reasons will be revealed so that the reading public can make their own informed judgment of who is the villain between the two.

* One is the alleged mismanagement of funds meant for taking care of the welfare of ex-militants in the Amnesty Programme of the State Government and the Federal Government by the Deputy Governor. When the Federal Government defaulted, for whatever reasons, in releasing funds for the former militants, Governor Akeredolu had to step in at a time to provide a financial cushion for the militants who were becoming agitated. The Governor, trusting his Deputy to deliver, being from Ese Odo, the hub of the former militants, entrusted him with the fund, running into millions of naira.

*When the Governor confronted him based on the negative feedback he was getting from the ex-militants, Agboola said he had used the money to settle some political scores without recourse to his principal. He thus became worried that the Governor queried him.

*Another reason which bears a resemblance to the first one was the way the Deputy Governor handled some urban renewal projects of the Akeredolu-led administration meant to give a facelift to the people of Ese Odo Local Government Area where Hon. Ajayi hails from. Rather than execute the projects to specifications, having been duly financially mobilized, he did a poor job, some he even failed to finish; some he did not touch at all.

*For full disclosure purposes, virtually all the capital projects of the Akeredolu-led government in Ese Odo and Ilaje Local Government Areas were awarded to a company.

*Again, when the Governor confronted him on the infractions, the Deputy Governor could not provide any tangible explanation to rationalize the shoddy execution of the projects. The Some-Igbotu Road cost the State Government about N600m. The project was handled by the same firm. Ditto for the road linking Agadagbaodon and Amapere running into hundreds of millions of naira, all handled by the firm allegedly belonging to the Deputy Governor. How much more could a Governor concede to his Deputy?

Did the people of Ondo elect PDP in their previous election?

This one needs to understand that people elected the party and not really the individual. Since you're no longer in the party then you're not an elected individual. It's simple.
Tell that to others before him that did same and remained as Governor, Why am i going far sef? Look at Obaseki, He's in PDP now and still the governor.

NextGovernor:


That's if the Governor have the right numbers to impeach him in the house. B4 he made such decision, he must have done his home work. If he doesnt have the number, he would have resign to avoid embarrassment before defecting.

Remember Akerodolu worked against his party men in 2019 which caused problem in Ondo. So I think Akerodolu doesnt even have the number and backing to remove the deputy.
where is the loyalty here? The same u will come and cry on another thread of obaseke not been loyal to oshomole.

Ayed44:
According to which section of the laws?

In 2014, Governor Rotimi Amaechi decamped to the APC while his deputy remained in PDP. They both served out their tenure like that.

The fact someone has done it before does not make it right.

Amechi's situation is wrong so is this one.

Let us separate deputy governor and governorship election then, we can as well do that and have the president and vice president in different political parties since the law is not against it.

very smart Nigerians..

Sen(Air Commodore rtd) Jonah David Jang and Dame Pauline Tallen had the same issue. She contested against him in 2011 while in LP and still remained his deputy.

Those who advises this man to decamp at this time are cone headed people. So long he has decamp he must resign because two different party can not be in office the same time. So long the governor is APC his deputy must be same party. So oga resign now
They can....the Supreme Court decided that with Obasanjo and Atiku.

In this case we can say the Governor is in the ruling party while his deputy is in the deputy ruling party.
