Tension Grips Ondo Govt Cabinet As Deputy Governor Allegedly Moves To Challenge Akeredolu

 

Tension has gripped members of the Ondo State Executive Council over the alleged move by the deputy governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, to challenge his boss, Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, for the governorship seat following speculations of ill health.

According to sources within the cabinet, the governor has become aware of the deputy governor’s alleged lack of loyalty and has grown increasingly uncomfortable with his purported ambition.

Although the deputy governor has yet to officially declare his intention to run in the 2024 gubernatorial elections, with the campaign said to have begun some time ago.

Trouble began when Akeredolu went on vacation and left the deputy governor in charge of the governor’s office.

During his brief stint as acting governor, the deputy governor was alleged to have prioritised his personal interests over that of the state and the governor.
