Ondo Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu has vowed not to hand over to his Deputy, Agboola Ajay
The Governor, In spite of testing positive for coronavirus, has vowed not to transmit power to Agboola Ajayi, his deputy governor.
Akeredolu who is self isolating and currently undergoing treatment at home after he tested positive to COVID-19 said there was no reason for him to hand over to his Deputy, who he described as the greatest threat to his administration.
The governor spoke through, the state commissioner for information and orientation, Donald Ojogo
Ojogo said ; “Handing over the governance of the state to Agboola is a none issue and we are not even considering that,”
“I know as a matter of fact nobody would want to do that and if we advise the governor it should be on what basis?
“He (deputy governor) has created an unusual scenario upon which he wanted to climb into the next step in his political ambition and we have seen this as a misadventure.
“We cannot toil with what we have built over the years. We cannot risk and attempt to hand over to someone who has exhibited the widest scenario of betrayal.
“So, it is unthinkable and unquestionable. If that is the reasons why the deputy governor is sponsoring some write-ups that the governor must hand over to him. He is only joking and it is not going to happen.
“Mr. Governor is saying COVID-19 is not a death sentence and he is strong enough to work.”
Deputy Governor Agboola has since joined the PDP after being denied exit from the government house by the Police, and had his security detail withdrawn, He has been granted a waiver by the PDP and he’s set to battle his boss in the upcoming Ondo state election.
