Mr. Dele Olugbemi, former factional Speaker of Ekiti State House of Assembly has rejected his nomination by Governor Ayo Fayose as a member of the newly constituted House of Assembly Service Commission.
According to PUNCH, Olugbemi shunned the screening and confirmation of nominees on Wednesday. Speaking on why he rejected the appointment , Olugbemi said, ''I’m a member of the appointment committee. I was shocked to hear my name announced on the radio as being appointed as a member of the commission without my knowledge. The governor’s action was against the ethos of democracy and he is simply running a one-man show. Since he came into office, he has been operating without regards to the party.
''I gave so much to defend his mandate but he has shown me no respect at all. I was still wondering about the appointment when he sent a message to me that some people were interested in replacing me in case I reject the offer. Since he had decided to preempt my decision, I did not find it difficult to reject the appointment.
''All I did to defend him during the impeachment plot was to prevent the state from plunging into chaos so I have no regret''.
