There Is No Plan To Forge Agboola Ajayi’s Signature |The Source

By Ayodele Oni

The Ondo State Government has reacted to allegations that it plans to forge the signature of the embattled and redundant Deputy Governor, Agboola Ajayi.

There have been reports that a resignation letter that would be purported to have been signed by Ajayi would be issued to make it look as if he has finally resigned from office.

Ajayi resigned from the APC without resigning from his office as the Deputy Governor of the state. That has put him under moral pressure, asking him to quit office. So far, he has refused, insisting his tenure officially ends in 2021.

But reacting to the alleged plan to forge his signature by the Government, the Commissioner for Information, Donald Ojogo, said:

“Ordinarily, it should be the height of insensitivity to dissipate energy on whatever the ZLP candidate may have said in respect of the above subject matter.

“Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, will rather deepen efforts as regards the current National Concern of youths protests.

“All the same, one does not expect anything less from a thoroughly beaten and politically minimized egocentric being. The circumstances feeding his outburst are clearly understood.

“Defeated hopes, dashed expectations and fast-lane victims are very potent kickers and shadow boxers. One rather expects a ruptured false package to have a sober reflection in order to forge ahead than engage in further perdition.

“This is not the first time he would unveil untruths, not only about others, but about himself too. Forgery cannot, and has never been part of this Government.

“The signature of anyone is too insignificant to be forged. It’s not in the character of Mr Governor or anyone in the Government he heads. It is left for Agboola Ajayi to place his conscience before the Moral  Square as far as the claim about his position as deputy governor is concerned.

“Those whose identities are shrouded in such vices as forgery, perjury and made-up inadequacies are already some distance away from the Government led by Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Odunayo Akeredolu, SAN. They know themselves.”

In the past one week, the rumours have been strong that Ajayi would, finally, resign from office.  He has denied any such resignation thoughts.
