The Ondo state governor, Lucky Orimisan Ayedatiwa, has drawn the attention of the public towards some group of persons in the state fanning the embers of crisis and disunity in the state.
Speaking through his Chief Press Secretary, Ebenezer Adeniyan said “Attention has been drawn to the mischievous plans by some political actors to embark on fresh unsubstantiated allegations against the governor of Ondo state, Hon. Lucky Aiyedatiwa.
According to him, “After failing woefully with their attempts to paint the governor in bad light with the stories around the death of the former Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, these desperate elements have resorted to blackmail.”
He noted that the first of such was to use faceless groups and individuals to make allegations of certificate forgery against the governor.
The governor’s spokesperson stated that “A governorship aspirant in the state has held a meeting with some individuals at a popular hotel in Akure, capital city where he gave the directive to those present to write stories alleging that the governor used forged certificates to contest election.
He added, “It is important to alert members of the public to this plot which is aimed at discrediting Mr. Governor ahead of the coming governorship election in the state.
While informing that “Mr Governor contested in a joint ticket with his former principal in the 2020 governorship election and his credentials were duly submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and those are in public domain for clarification.
Saying “Any attempt to raise allegations around the credentials of Mr. Governor is nothing but a plot out of the playbook of those who failed in their efforts to impeach him when he was deputy governor.
Adeniyan notes that the governor remained committed to delivering on his promises to develop Ondo state and would not be distracted by the shenanigans of shameless politicians and their cronies in their attempt of campaign of calumny and dirty politics.
