The senator representing Ondo North District at the National Assembly, Prof. Ajayi Boroffice, yesterday reacted to the resolution of the Ondo State House of Assembly, calling the Senate to declare his seat vacant.
A statement by his media aide, Mr. Segun Odidi, Boroffice said there was nothing unconstitutional and immoral about his dumping the Labour Party (LP).
He insisted that there was a protracted crisis in the state chapter of the LP, and as a result, he has moved to another party.
The chairman of the Senate Committee on Science and Technology described any effort to sack him from the Senate as a mere shadow chasing, saying his defection satisfied the section 68, subsection G1 of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
He tasked the state House of Assembly to face their oversight functions for which they were elected by the people in their various constituencies.
He said: “The resolution of the House will not have any effect since the senator complied with all necessary procedures. The House did not pass a resolution requesting the governor to come up with the 2012 budget that is already belated.
