“My people that voted for me did not ask me to resign, so I remain the deputy governor of this state.”
Contrary to insinuations that he would also resign his position as deputy governor elected on the platform of the ruling APC, Ajayi said he retained his position.
While submitting his resignation letter at the APC secretariat in his ward, Ajayi said that the reason for his decision was public knowledge. At the PDP secretariat, where he collected the party’s membership card, the deputy governor reiterated: “As I said earlier, everybody all over the world knows why I left the APC. Some hours ago, you all know what happened to me at the Government House, but I am a man of peace.”
Ajayi said he would not be bothered by cheap blackmail by agents of government trying to cause enmity among members of the PDP. He declared that he would go to the primary election with other qualified members of the party, who have shown interest in the governorship ticket of the party. Ajayi eventually moved out of the Government House in preparation for his deflection to the PDP to contest the October 10, 2020 governorship election.
The Guardian gathered that the decision to suspend Giadom was taken during an online meeting of the statutory members of the state executive committee presided over by Aguma.
