Samuel Ajibola, special assistant on parliamentary matters to Ayodele Fayose, the governor of Ekiti state, has resigned.

According to PUNCH, Ajibola resigned over the economic situation of the state.

The newspaper said Ajibola conveyed his message to quit the government in a letter dated May 28.

“I humbly write this to formally notify you that I am resigning from my position as your S.A on Parliamentary Affairs,” the letter read.

“Sir, within my personal conviction, I am satisfied that I have in honesty and utmost loyalty served the PDP, the people of Ekiti and government in general.

“Therefore, I premise my resignation on some basic developmental issues and the economic situation in the state which I cannot continue to pretend over. My resignation takes off immediately.”

The governor has reportedly accepted Ajibola’s resignation and appointed Alexander Adeojo as replacement.

Ajibola was the only Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) member in the house of assembly before Fayose won the election.

He represented Ekiti east constituency 1 and was one of the lawmakers that approved the reconstitution of the dissolved 16 local governments as requested by the governor.
