Alhaji Ali Olanusi, Ondo State Deputy Governor, who recently
moved from the Peoples Democratic Party to the All Progressives Congress was impeached on Monday morning by members of the state House of Assembly, where Twenty two of the 26 members of the Assembly supported his impeachment...
The motion for his impeachment was moved by the majority leader, Ifedayo Akinsoyinu, from Ondo West 11 and seconded by Olatunji Dauro from Owo 11.
Seven allegations were levelled against Olanusi. Here are the particulars of the charge as read by Akinsoyinu:
"Alhaji Ali Olanusi, being the holder of the office of the Deputy Governor, permitted and condoned the perpetration of fraudulent activities in the office of the Deputy Governor in that Alhaji Bola Idris Olanusi, the younger brother and Special Assistant in the office of Deputy Governor procured false LPO's with the knowledge of Alhaji Ali Olanusi and obtained EHISO Resources International Limited two trucks of AGO with forged documents and for personal benefits, thereby putting the office of the Deputy Governor into disrepute.
"The deputy governor also disparaged the office of the governor by alleging that the governor carted away ballot boxes, instigated the killing of people of the state, disrespected the judiciary, worked against the interest of the President and he bribed the electorate".
Olanusi was also accused of engaging in absenteesim and truancy "by regularly absenting himself from office, place of work and other official engagements without lawful excuse or authorisation but generally acting in a manner inconsistent with the dictates and expectations of the high office of the deputy governor of a state, thus, undermining the governance process, an act which amount to gross misconduct under the constitution.
"Deliberately, he allowed his security aides to shoot indiscriminately peaceful protesters along Fiwasaye/Oba Adesida Road in Akure, thus creating panic, breakdown of law and order, and general sense of insecurity within the state under the pretence that the said protesters disrupted his convoy, an act unbecoming of the holder of the office of the deputy governor.
"The deputy governor also collected various sums of money including N8.1 million, N8.9 million, N10.8 million and N11.3 million for the purpose of traveling for medical purposes and refused to use the fund for the purpose meant for.
"The deputy governor engaged in political misconduct by working at cross purposes with the governor and, thereby, wants to destabilise the government by openly canvassing the impeachment of the governor".
