The Senior Legislative Aide to Senator Nicholas Tofowomo of Ondo South, Hon. Solomon Bitire has raised an alarm over alleged Plot to sack him for no justifiable reason.

Below is the statement unedited:
PRESS RELEASE
Plot to surreptitiously substitute my name as Senior Legislative Aide by Senator Nicholas Tofowomo.
I write to notify the general public and my Constituency in Particular, that, just this morning, l authoritatively gathered that my Principal in person of Senator Nicholas Tofowomo representing Ondo South Senatorial District in the current Assembly has submitted a letter to the National Assembly Commission requesting my substitution with a yet to be disclosed person .
Although l am yet to be briefed about the justification for this ungodly and inhuman action of the distinguished Senator, l know as a fact that l have neither been queried nor alleged of any infraction by my boss, in my official duties, that could warrant this embarrassing development.
It is on record and everyone in my Constituency accepts the fact that l am not an infant in the politics of our locality having served in various capacities as Secretary of PDP in Okitipupa Local Govt. for 8years, Chairman of PDP ,Okitipupa Local Government for 8years, Chairman of Chairmen of PDP in Ondo State for many years, former Chairman of the Ondo State Library Board, former Chairman, Okitipupa Local Government Council and finally and most significantly, the Secretary General of The Campaign Council for Nicholas Tofowomo, before and after the Primary election that produced my Principal up to victory at the general election.
I wish to draw the attention of the Leadership of the PDP at all levels to this ugly development that is capable of tearing our Party apart. The Senator must be called to order now before this matter degenerates beyond control. I do not deserve this unfair treatment with all my sacrifices for the Party. Why should l be sacrificed for the loss of Senator Tofowomo in the just concluded Primary election which ordinarily, he could have won , if he had heeded all my wise counsels and pieces of advice against the inglorious mass sacking of his appointees in the early beginning of his tenure, including the sack of statutory aides such as his PA, Legislative Aide 1, Josi Ehinmore and the unresolved frosty relationship with his benefactor Director General in person of Hon. Banji Okunomo . Is this what Senator Tofowomo wants to pay me back with? I will fight this matter with all legal apparati at my disposal to resist this bad political culture of Ingratitude.
Signed.
Hon. Bitire Solomon
SLA to Senator Nicholas Tofowomo.
