Ondo: Gov Aiyedatiwa Forwards Twelve Names To Assembly As Commissioner Nominees

By Ayodele Oni

Almost four months after inauguration, Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has forwarded names of 12 nominees to the State House of Assembly for confirmation as Commissioners.

Aiyedatiwa has been running his Government with only two Commissioners – Finance and Attorney General, which has attracted criticism from opposition parties.

His victory during the 2024 Governorship Election was confirmed last week by the Election Petition Tribunal.

A statement by Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Ebenezer Adeniyan stated that  “The Governor of Ondo State, Dr Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, has forwarded to the Ondo State House of Assembly a list of 12 nominees for the position of Commissioner in the State Executive Council for confirmation.

“I shall be most obliged to the Honourable House for your expeditious action on this request in the overall interest of our dear State.

“Please accept, as always, my highest regards for your esteemed self and other distinguished Members of the House.”
