Alfred Agboola Ajayi (born 24 September 1968) is a Nigerian politician, lawyer, and businessman[1] who served as deputy governor of Ondo State from 2017 to 2021.
He hails from Kiribo Town of Western Apoi tribe in the Ese Odo 'Local Government Area' (LGA) of Ondo State.
Ajayi had earlier denied having any problem at all with governor Akeredolu, and dismissed such rumours and speculations in the past as pure "political propaganda" that was being perpetrated and orchestrated by 'political jobbers" who were bent on causing crisis.
[12] But on 20 June 2020, following the order from the Governor, the police commissioner of Ondo State (CP Bolaji Salami) and his armed policemen restricted and barred Ajayi from leaving his official residence in the Government House for over four hours;[13] and when he finally gained his freedom he went straight to his Apoi Ward 2 in Ese-Odo LGA to tender his resignation from the APC party and thereafter crossed over to the PDP ward office to register his new membership.
But Ajayi has refused to resign and claims that he still remains the elected deputy governor of Ondo State despite moving to the opposition party PDP.
