The Appeal Court sitting in Akure , the Ondo State capital on Friday nullified the impeachment of the former deputy governor of the state , Alhaji Ali Olanusi . Olanusi who was the deputy governor of the immediate former governor of the state , Dr . Olusegun Mimiko, was impeached by the Ondo State House of Assembly in 2015 for alleged gross misconduct. He also joined the All Progressives Congress shortly before the presidential election in 2015 , before his impeachment . The 79 -page judgement by Justice Muhammed Danjuma was delivered at about 5 pm on Friday. The court held that the impeachment of Olanusi was not in accordance with the provisions of the 1999 Constitution and was not given a fair hearing . He ordered that all privileges and entitlements due to the former deputy governor from the time of his removal from office till 24 February this year , when his tenure was supposed to expire should be restored. A Federal High Court sitting in Lagos had earlier struck out the case filed by Olanusi to challenge his impeachment on the grounds that the court lacked jurisdiction to hear the case.

Chairman , Senate Committee on Science
and Technology , Ajayi Boroffice ,
representing Ondo North Senatorial
District , tells LEKE BAIYEWU about his
life , family and politics

How did you become a lawmaker in the
National Assembly?

My journey into the National Assembly
was an expensive venture, which I think
many people don’t really know. But the
important thing is that in the two
elections, which I won in 2011 and 2015 ,
I was able to convince the people in my
senatorial district that I can represent
them effectively, and that was why they
voted for me . I have been trying to make
sure that I represent them and , where it
is within my capacity, ensure they also
enjoy the dividends of democracy .
It has been very rewarding. The situation
in which I have found myself exposes me
and allows me to understand every
stratum of the Nigerian population ; from
the grass roots to the elite . In the Senate ,
I interact with the elite and I know their
thoughts. I can see what Nigeria looks
like from that perspective . I think this is
important for a politician . In all , I think
it has been a rewarding experience being
in the Senate .


With the way the public perceives the
National Assembly and vice versa , what
is it precisely that creates the conflict
of perceptions?

If people are not here , they will not
understand . I have a colleague where
interview I was reading in one of the
dailies about a month ago. He is now a
senator and he said before he got into the
Senate , he thought we came here to make
a noise and play around . He said that
when he got here , he was overwhelmed
with work; that he was shocked that
senators worked . We don ’t leave this
place ( office) until between 6 pm and
7 pm . We have to work from Tuesday to
Thursday . On Fridays , we have to go to
our constituencies to meet with our
people and interact with them. By
Monday , we will run back to start
sittings ( plenary) on Tuesday . On
Tuesdays , the normal plenary sessions
start at 10 am and end at 2 pm , if there is
no extension . Immediately after , we start
committee meetings. So, if you are
serving in more than two committees ,
you may be moving from one committee
to another . I chair the Committee on
Science and Technology ; I also serve on
four other committees . At times, three of
the committees may be meeting
simultaneously and you will have to
move from one to another . Of course,
when my committee is meeting , there is
nothing I can do than to sit down and
preside over the session .
I also participate actively in the oversight
functions of the committee where I am
the chairman and the ones that I am a
member of. This exercise can take us on
tour of the country . For instance , I am in
the Committee on Navy and we embark
on tour of the naval commands in the
East and the West . For the Committee on
Trade and Investment , we have to go on
tour of the free trade zones in the
country . I am also in the committees on
health and education. So , I cannot attend
all because I am always very busy.


But you are also making money in the
process apart from the constituency
projects?

The way people see us is unfortunate .
That is not correct. They feel that once
you’ re here ( in the National Assembly ) ,
you are making money. They have flogged
the issue of constituency projects . Now , I
think people are getting to realise that
they ( executive ) don’t give us the money
( for the projects ) , it is in the budget. We
only tell them in the budget where we
want the projects to be located. It is the
( government) agency in charge of the
sector concerned that awards the
contract. In some cases, we don’t know
the contractors. For instance, I did not
know the contractors that constructed the
Centre for Emergency Obstetrics in my
place and he did a shoddy job , and I
cannot trace him . If I had nominated
him , I would be able to trace him, report
him to the traditional ruler and force
him to complete his job (the contract) .
But because it was given to somebody we
don’ t know, there is nothing we can do.
We do our best to be sure that we are
transparent and concerned about the
pains of Nigerians . So, we are not here
making money, as people think. Instead ,
we spend a lot of money because we
receive phone calls from our
constituencies ; especially from people
who have problems and they want us to
intervene . We cannot satisfy all of them.
But we try to meet the demands of some;
it costs a lot of money.


Being one of the oldest in the Senate,
how do you cope with the high volume
of work?

I ’m from a different background. I came
from the university. So , I am used to the
work ethic of the academia . If you come
here on Mondays, when there is no
sitting , you will meet me here ; that is if I
haven ’t travel . On Fridays , you will meet
me in this office.

Does it mean you don’t have any leisure
time ?

Leisure time at my age? What am I doing
with that ? Most of the time , I am
working because I have always been used
to that , right from my days in the
university. I don ’t see it as a burden at
all .

If you work for so long , how does your
tight schedule affect your family?

My wife is a professor and she is also
used to it , even though she is retired now .
All my children are grownups. I am a
grandfather, so the issue of looking after
children doesn ’t arise. It is only my
grandchildren that I think I’ m trying to
relate with , even though they are not at
the prime of my attention because they
have their parents too .


Has any of your family members shown
interest in politics ?
It is not an active interest and I will
discourage anybody who wants to go into
politics among my children. I will
discourage them ( my children) from
participating in politics because the type
of politics we play in Nigeria is not the
type I think they should get involved in .
They all schooled in the US and what
they are used to is different from what we
do here . They will be frustrated and I
don’ t think I will encourage them, as of
now , to get involved in our politics, until
politics ( in Nigeria) becomes saner and
less expensive ; until it becomes more
ideological than ‘cash and carry’ because
what we do now is ‘cash and carry ’
politics .


Your attire is always white . What is
the reason for that ?


It is just that when I wear white, I want
it to be a symbol of purity of my heart
and inner man. The white attire is almost
a weakness in everything I do . I ’m always
cautioned not to cross the boundary of
righteousness. In any case , it is in line
with the Bible which says, ‘Let your
garment be white always;’ it is in
Ecclesiastes 9: 8 . It is the consciousness of
purity and righteousness as a Christian.


Have you had any embarrassing
experience because you wear white
always , especially with those around
you?


People ask me questions on that . They
believe that when you wear white , you
are a member of a cult. It is a perception .
Even members of those cults in the
Yoruba traditional system, the white they
wear is for purity . Purity is not limited to
cultism . I ’m a Christian and I don’ t
belong to any cult. I belong to two
Christian organisations : the Gideons
International which distributes Bibles ,
and the Full Gospel Businessmen
Fellowship International. I am not a
member of Lion ’s Club or Rotary Club

Kaydeexotic:
Hi fellow Nairalanders.. ..i have a budget of 135k to purchase a new phone but due to the number of phones coming out daily I'm confused on the one to buy... I kindly need suggestions and if possible first hand experience with the suggested phones.. .thanks

maybe HTC.. but dash me your soon-to-be ex phone o.. may i also dash my younger bro dis tecno m3

Most Nigerians have seen the Senate as an institution of thieves and thereby when they appear before them.. They give answers that think is befitting of the people in senate without respecting the house.(like "how can this senator that is been accused of embezzlement ask me if i'm corrupt"
And it'll cost them the jobs or whatever as they are screened out even if they actually deserve the jobs.
You don't disrespect authority(ies) because they are doing the wrong thing.

holamiday:
That's an unnecessary feature if you ask me. Why would 5000 people want to be on a group?

so that Jesus can feed them with 5loaves and 2fishes

People who are depressed might not share because of lack of trust which is a rarity nowadays.
Op wey dey shout... You obviously don't know what depressed people are going through.
The depressed man that can't feed... Pay off his bills and see whether he would still attempt suicide.

Instead of coming here with the hard nature of the Law.... Why not use the soft, gentle easy method of the saviour?

Sum ppl no get job atall

10 years ago. 512mb ram on a phone was huge.

I used a symbian 12 years ago. This phone was top of its class and it had only 32mb ram or something close.

Back then i would have said 128mb ram was pointless, but phone apps these days are ram intensive. Several apps especially games are now over 1g in size! These monster apps need huge ram to push its graphics and other sleek features they come with.

10years ago 512mb was huge... But presently 512mb small o... My whatsapp dey slow die

UncleJudax:
Good for you. While at it, you should get the new Nokia 3310. Heard it is 128 mb RaM

e no good o UncleJudax..

i still dey use 512mb ram phone here.
