The former Secretary to Ondo Governor, Hon. Ifedayo Abegunde has described Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu as the worst Governor in the history of the State as he also accused him of reducing governance to a family affair.
He noted that the Governor has turned former Governor Olusegun Mimiko to a saint with his abysmal performance adding that Mimiko did well as governor because he gave his people enough funds to enable them to cater for the needs of their supporters.
He said, “I had worked with three Governors, and I can say that in the history of Ondo State, Akeredolu is the worst governor.”
Abegunde, who added that the people that enjoy the Ondo state government are Akeredolu’s wife, son and In-laws from Imo state announced his decision to support another aspirant from the All Progressive Congress, APC, Mr Segun Abraham, whom he described as the Messiah that Ondo state needs.
“Akeredolu has reduced the government to the property of his wife, son and in-laws from Imo state. All the contracts in the state are being given to his wife, son and the people from Imo state.”
Ondo Governor
The former SSG, who disclosed this on a private radio station, Crest FM in Akure, the Ondo State capital noted that the ill-treatment he received from the Ondo Governor was the reason for his resignation.
When he was asked about the five million million which Governor Akeredolu claimed he was giving him as the monthly grants for his office, Abegunde accused the governor of lying.
“He has been telling lies that he was giving me N5m every month even when he knew he didn’t give me such money.”
He challenged the Ondo Governor to tender evidence to substanciate his claims about the five million naira.
“I remember that I told Fayemi that I was going to spit on the face of Akeredolu if he repeated the lie that he was giving me N5m monthly, and I would then return to Akure to resign and as well Inform the public of his looting sprees”
On the forthcoming 2020 Governorship poll, Abena said “we made it possible for Aketi to become governor. We were the pillars behind him and we will not support him again. He will lose this time around”
Abegunde further said that he resigned because he could no longer be part of a government that makes its subjects to pass through hardship as he accused him of not paying salaries as and when due.
