The All Progressives Congress has appointed the impeached Ondo State Deputy Governor, Alhaji Ali Olanusi, as a member of its Board of Trustees.

The statement added that Olanusi would remain a member of the BoT till 2018.

Although Olanusi formally joined the party on March 26, 2015 (two days before the presidential election), the APC stated that Olanusi had contributed greatly to the making of the party.

The statement read, “I am pleased to convey the ratification by the National Executive Committee of your appointment as a member of the Board of Trustees of our great party. Your selection is in pursuant to Article 12.2 (xi) of the constitution but most especially your laudable contribution in the making of our great party.

“Your appointment is for a period of four years effective July 2014. The board’s role as defined by the constitution is to effectively represent and promote the overall interest of our great party with a view to adding a long-term value to the image of the party.

“It is expected, therefore, that you will, along with your colleagues on the board, make decisions objectively in the party. Other issues of the board and its mode of operation are spelt out in the constitution.”
