Ondo Deputy Governor and PDP -By Festus Adedayo
t would seem that the morality of this Caesar-like stab doesn’t faze the deputy governor at all. Though the PDP is alleged to be colourless and wouldn’t think twice about having a dalliance with Agboola in the October election, where does it leave its loyal members who had been travelling with the party even during inclement weathers at sea?
Preparatory to the October gubernatorial election, Ondo State is beginning to witness the usual familiar manifestations of politicians. A couple of weeks ago, the information highway was seized with the news of the plan by the incumbent Deputy Governor of the State, Agboola Ajayi, to defect from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the People’s Democratic Party (PDP). He was alleged to have made so many subterranean moves to achieve this, throwing his alleged huge wealth into the exercise and making nocturnal visits to highly placed persons for the realization of this dream.
While it within the political liberty of the Deputy Governor to so do, the quality of morality of such exercise is deafeningly suspect. Governor Rotimi Akeredolu is said to have alleged the moral low in a fellow traveler inside same boat with him seeking to rock their collective boat, even when the crew is at sea. It would seem that the morality of this Caesar-like stab doesn’t faze the deputy governor at all. Though the PDP is alleged to be colourless and wouldn’t think twice about having a dalliance with Agboola in the October election, where does it leave its loyal members who had been travelling with the party even during inclement weathers at sea? Would it not confirm the feeling that both it and a man alleged to have spent the last four years stabbing his boss with unkind cuts are six and half a dozen?
