Chairman, Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions and Senator representing Ondo Central in the Upper Legislative Chamber of the National Assembly, Senator Ayo Akinyelure has given 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 Friday, Senator Akinyelure said Mr President must have been misinformed about the nomination of Mr Charles Ogunmola.

He said: “Though Mr Charles Ogunmola is from Ondo State, but he is not from the oil producing areas of the state and that was why the three Senators from the Sunshine State unanimously rejected his nomination.”

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.
