Ibadan—FORMER governor of Oyo State, Senator Rashidi Ladoja has kicked against  the election of the principal officers in the Oyo State House of Assembly which took place on Wednesday.

Ladoja, who spoke through his Director of Campaign Organisation, Mr. Abraham Adeleke described the said election as illegal and unconstitutional.

Accord, Ladoja’s party has eight members followed by Labour Party with six members.

But, after an agreement between the All Progressives Congress and Labour Party, the latter was given the minority leader.

Another former governor, Adebayo Alao-Akala contested the governorship election on the platform of Labour Party.

Ladoja fumed that “the party that is next to the party with the majority member in the House always presents a member for the position of the minority leader. While in this case, APC has 18 members; Accord has eight members while Labour Party has six members”.

“We are aware that a leader in Labour Party collaborated with the state governor, Sen. Abiola Ajimobi to perpetrate illegality in the House of Assembly as a result of financial and political patronage coupled with the promise to withdraw the EFCC case against the said Labour Party leader, who always derives joy in betraying trust and we are not surprised with the action of the APC- led government to perpetrate illegality since the same government came into existence through fraud and malpractices”.
