Olanusi's Impeachment Temporary – APC

Ondo State chapter of the All Progressive Congress (APC) has described the impeachment of the state's deputy governor, Alhaji Ali Olanusi, as temporary, vowing to reclaim the mandate through legal means. The party, who lamented the unlawful process of the impeachment, described it as height of impunity by the Peoples Democratic Party led government in the state. In a statement signed by the Publicity secretary of the party in the state, Omoba Abayomi Adesanya, the APC said it is laughable that a rubber stamped House of Assembly could hurriedly impeach the deputy governor and accept nomination of another person in a haste. The statement reads; "The impeachment of Alhaji Ali Olanusi as the deputy governor of Ondo State is temporary. The impeachment was a sham and charade. How on earth will a deputy governor be impeached within five days? “It shows that there were unholy alliance between the Governor Olusegun Mimiko, Chief Judge, Olasehinde Kumuyi and the governor stooges who called themselves state lawmakers for them to embark on illegal process to impeach the deputy governor. "It was clear to the people of the state that before the directive of the State Assembly Speaker to serve Olanusi the impeachment notice, the embattled deputy governor was not in the state. Without any court order, the Speaker directed them to paste the notice on the quarters of the deputy governor and this is unlawful.”
