The Chairman, Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions, Distinguished Senator Ayo Akinyelure has stated the reasons for the rejection of Mr Charles Ogunmola as NDDC Nominee from Ondo State.
Briefing the press in his office shortly after the rejection of the NDDC nominee on Thursday, Akinyelure, who is the Senator representing Ondo Central in the National Assembly, observed that President Muhammadu Buhari must have been misinformed about the nomination of Mr Charles Ogunmola.
“Though Mr Charles Ogunmola is from Ondo State but he is not from the oil producing area of Ondo State and that was why the three Senators from Ondo State unanimously rejected his nomination,” Akinyelure further said.
Akinyelure, however urged President Muhammadu Buhari to kindly reforward another qualified person to be screened on the Board of NDDC to represent the good people of Ondo State.
