The lawmakers argued that their action was pursuant of the provisions
of Section 188 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,
emphasizing and urged the Speaker of the house, Rt. Hon. Jumoke Akindele
to start the impeachment process.
“We the undersigned members of the Ondo State House of Assembly, pursuant to our enabling powers under Section 188 (2) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria hereby present to the Speaker the following allegations of gross misconduct against the Deputy Governor, Alhaji Ali Olanusi,” the motion read.
The lawmakers accused him of perpetrating fraudulent activities with his younger brother, Alhaji Bola Olanusi, who is his Special Assistant to procure false local purchase order (LPO) with the knowledge of the Deputy Governor for a shoddy deal with Ehiso Resources International Limited.
Olanusi was accused of discrediting the Governor, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko in a press interview with a national newspaper dated April 18, 2015, which portrayed Mimiko as a person who aided and abetted crime against humanity in different capacities.
The Deputy Governor was accused of “truancy by regularly absenting himself from office, place of work and all other official engagements specifically on 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th and 17th of April and Monday 20th of April, 2015 without lawful excuse or authorization.”
The lawmakers also flayed him on the recent fracas between his security aides, whom they said, “caused his security aides to shoot indiscriminately at peaceful protesters along Fiwasaye/Oba Adesida Road in Akure thus creating panic, breakdown of law and order and general sense of insecurity within the state.”
Olanusi, who decamped to the opposition party barely 48 hours to the presidential elections, was accused of “causing political disaffection and deliberately working at cross purposes with the Governor,” purportedly trying to plot the impeachment of Mimiko immediately after the March 28 elections.
He was also accused of financial mismanagement and malfeasance, for “unlawfully enriching himself and/or causing loss to the state government” the total amount of N39, 289, 310 from 2009 to 2014 allocated for medical bill, under the pretence of travelling “when in actual fact, the said Alhaji Ali Olanusi did not travel on the said specific dates or did not travel at all, or did not expend the approved medical bills as appropriate.”
