Governor Mimiko appoints new deputy

Governor Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo state has appointed a new deputy governor.

Commissioner for Agriculture, Lasisi Oluboyo was nominated by Mimiko today, April 27, 2015 following the impeachment of former Deputy Governor, Ali Olanusi.

Olanusi was impeached earlier in the day by 24 out of 26 members of the State House of Assembly.

The former deputy governor had been accused of gross misconduct by the Assembly after his defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in March.
