Releated Post

No fewer than five  aides to the late  Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State have tendered their resignation.

Following the emergence of Aiyedatiwa as the new governor, some of Akeredolu’s aides dropped their resignation letter.

They include Akeredolu’s Chief Press Secretary, Richard Olatunde; and the ex-governor’s Special Adviser on Union Matters and Special Duties, Mr Dare Aragbaye.

Others are the Commissioner for Infrastructure Lands and Housing, Mr Aminu Raimi; the Special Assistant on Photography, Mr Olawale  Abolade; and the Senior Special Assistant on Special Duties and Strategy, Dr Doyin Odebowale.

The development indicated that they were not ready to work with the new governor. Some of them cited their loyalty to Akeredolu as the reason for their resignation.

In his letter of resignation addressed to the office of the Secretary to the State Government, made available to our correspondent on Thursday, the infrastructure and housing commissioner said his resignation was dictated by his conscience.

“I write to tender my resignation of appointment as Commissioner For Infrastructure, Lands and Housing with effect from today, 28 December 2023.

“I sincerely thank our dear Arakunrin and the good people of the state for the opportunity to serve in his cabinet as Senior Special Assistant on Lands and infrastructure, Special Adviser on Lands, Works and Infrastructure and Commissioner for Infrastructure, Lands and Housing,” Raimi said.

In his own letter, the Senior Special Assistant on Special Duties and Strategy, Adebowale, said: “I write to notify your office of my intention to resign my appointment as the Senior Special Assistant on Special Duties and Strategy to the Governor of Ondo State with immediate effect.
