Prof. Ajayi BorofficeThe Chairman, Senate Committee on Science and Technology, Senator Robert Boroffice, on Tuesday alleged that the Ondo State Governor, Olusegun Mimiko, was planning to impeach his deputy, Alhaji Ali Olanusi, for defecting to the All Progressives Congress.The senator, who is an APC member from the Ondo North Senatorial District, in a statement in Abuja, alleged that the governor was alreadyharassing Olanusi with thugs, a development he said, was putting the deputy governor’s life in danger.He argued that Olanusi had the right to defect to any party of his choice since Mimiko, who contested the seat on the platform of Labour Party alongside Olanusi, had also defected to the Peoples Democratic Party.But Mimiko, in his reaction on Tuesday, said Borofice’s alarm had no substance and that Olanusi had nothing to fear if he was convinced that he had not committed impeachable offences.Boroffice said, “As the Asiwaju of Akokoland, our people have mandated me to warn the OndoState governor against making attempt to frustrate an industrious and highly prominent Akoko man out of his government simply because he defected to another party.“Alhaji Olanusi, who is our dear son, had helpedto stabilise the Mimiko administration and we won’t fold our arms and watch Governor Olusegun Mimiko to frustrate or disgrace him out of office because he had not done anything wrong .“Olanusi stabilised Mimiko administration. We won’t agree with his antics. He should leave our son alone to enjoy the joint ticket he won together with Mimiko. We are solidly behind him in Akokoland.”Mimiko, who spoke through the Commissioner forInformation, Kayode Akinmade, said he had no thugs hence he could not have sent any thug after his deputy.Akinmade said, “Mr. Governor has no thug to send after anybody. As for impeachment, the deputy governor has nothing to fear if he has not committed any impeachable offence.“It is however curious that Senator Borofice is raising the alarm over a plot to impeach somebody when he (Borofice) was the one that actually threatened in an interview withPunchthat they would impeach the governor immediately after the elections, believing that they would win the state assembly poll.”

Nigeria politics going front and back progressing since 2015..
Mimiko should let the Baba enjoy his post, he is not a saint when it comes to decamping himself.

Does the governor has the right to impeach his deputy? I don't think the house would work with him on this.

The house might work with him on this, if he has influence in the house and if PDP has majority in the house, the deputy governor shot himself in the foot by leaving PDP 2 days to the presidential election, when he knows he still has some few years left on his tenure...

It would have favoured him if that was his last and final term in office, i don't see him surviving this, some guys protested at the government house yesterday calling for his removal....

He would be termed as the enemy within, since PDP has majority in the house and he is the only APC guy in government, i don't envy his situation....

The deputy dig his boss grave dip and now he will be fallen into it by himself .
That is politics any way

Betrayals and distrust.

All these politricians, they are all the same.
