Menurut beliau lagi, Sultan Kedah turut memperkenankan pelantikan ADUN Kulim dari PKR, Lim Soo Nee untuk mengisi jawatan Exco yang kosong itu manakala majlis angkat sumpah akan diadakan minggu depan.

Mohd Radzhi sebelum ini mengumumkan keluar dari PKR dan menjadi wakil rakyat Bebas.

Berikutan tindakan itu, Azizan menghadap Sultan Kedah bagi menyerahkan surat memohon perkenan supaya Mohd Radzhi yang mengisytiharkan dirinya wakil rakyat Bebas digugurkan daripada jawatan Exco.

Tindakan itu dibuat berikutan Mohd. Radzhi yang merupakan Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Pelancongan, Pembangunan Masyarakat dan Sumber Tenaga Manusia negeri bukan lagi mewakili komponen Pakatan Rakyat (PR).

Ketua Penerangan PKR, Lateefa Koya menyifatkan tindakan Mohd Radzhi itu tidak menguntungkan Umno dan Barisan Nasional (BN).

Mohd Radzhi sering dihebohkan dengan dakwaan mempunyai beberapa rekod buruk sebelum menjadi Adun lagi termasuk semasa dia bertugas di Pejabat Pos Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM).

Ketika menjadi Exco pula, dalam keadaan disifatkan sebagai gagal menjalankan tugasnya sebagai wakil rakyat dan juga exco, beliau masih mengemukakan tuntutan perbelanjaan melampau kepada kerajaan negeri sehingga menyebabkian beliau disiasat oleh Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia SPRM.
