Why Ajayi Must Resign Immediately – APC

Ondo State, Deputy Governor, Agboola Ajayi has been advised to resign without further delay, so as to allow peace reign.

Recall that  following a crisis Ajayi had with the governor of the state, Rotimi Akeredolu, he formally left the ruling party at the weekend and defected to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

In a statement, signed by its Publicity Secretary, Rotimi Fashakin, the party claim that to avoid any embarrassment, the Deputy Governor should honourably resign since he was sponsored by the party on the same ticket with Governor Akeredolu.

The party said it was sad that a once rosy relationship between the governor and his deputy had turned sour.

The party noted that despite efforts by party leadership to savour the relationship and prevent Ajayi from leaving, he still chose to leave.

“The State Working Committee is taken aback by a reported statement credited to Ajayi that he would remain the deputy governor as long as his people have not asked him to quit. This statement is vexatious.

“It is imperative to remind Ajayi that he ran on an APC ticket given to Akeredolu and both were sponsored by the party. Now that he chooses to defect, the party advises Ajayi to toe the path of wisdom, and resign honourably,” the ruling party said.

The party noted that their arms are open if the deputy chooses to come back.
