Nigeria – Governor Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo state could be faced with an impending impeachment as the opposition party is about to take over the state’s house of assembly, Senator Ajayi Boroffice said in an interview with Punch.
“Almost everybody in Ondo is fed up with the present state government; the governor in particular. We have all decided to vote against the PDP.
“In the last election we (APC) had two senators, and five members of the House of Representatives. That was before people like Olusola Oke, Gbenga Oguniya and many other very prominent members of the PDP defected to the APC.
“With their influence now, we are expecting that we will have about 21 members in the House of Assembly. If we have that you can now hazard a guess of what is going to happen.
“If somebody has been in office for six years and he has not done what he should be doing, how can you change him in the next two years to do what is right?
“I think it will be very difficult to convince our people to allow this government to stay for another two years. It is part of the political culture.
“If the governor is not doing well and the majority of the members of the House feel that he has committed impeachable offences, then he will be impeached.
“He will not be the first governor that will be impeached. Balarabe Musa was impeached in the Second Republic, Fayose was impeached once and he is going to be impeached again. He will break the record of impeached governors,” he concluded.
