By Ayodele Oni, Akure

Former Secretary to the Ondo State Government, Ifedayo Abegunde, has returned to his vomit. He is back to the political fold of Governor Rotimi Akeredolu.

Abegunde, popularly known as Abena, resigned his appointment as SSG in July, and announced his intention to team up with one of the governorship aspirants, Segun Abraham against Akeredolu.

The Akure born former scribe did not stop at that. He announced to the public that Governor Akeredolu did not win the 2016 election and that he knew how results were fixed for him.

He had since denied this following calls for his arrest and prosecution.

Abegunde ran into troubled waters when two aspirants, one of them, Abraham, the one he was supporting, withdrew from the Governorship race and teamed up with Governor Akeredolu.

Report has it that like a lost and found ram, he was brought to Alagbaka Government House, Sunday evening, and held a meeting with the Governor, and some of his campaign team members.

It was learnt that the reconciliation was made possible by a serving Commissioner, and a group of politicians from Owo, the country home of the governor.

With his return to the political dynasty of Governor Akeredolu, the former scribe is expected to join other chieftains of the All Progressives Congress, (APC) in Akure, and work for the victory of the governor in   the October 10 polls.

The former SSG is, now, expected to campaign alongside Governor Akeredolu.
