The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), reports that Ajayi had been at loggerheads with his boss, Akeredolu, for some time before he finally resigned from the All Progressives Congress and joined the People’s Democratic Party.

Ajayi, however, maintains that he remains the deputy governor of the state in spite of his leaving the All Progressives Congress.

In the statement, Mr Allen Sowore (who was also sacked by the Governor), and other aides of the deputy governor were advised to submit all government’s property in his possession to the Chief of Staff to the Governor.
