Within a matter of minutes, Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, appointed a new Secretary to the State Government, SSG, to replace Ifedayo Abegunde who resigned his appointment.
In a terse statement, Abegunde resigned his appointment, citing personal reasons.
In his place, Akeredolu appointed an indigene of Akure, Tayo Oluwatuyi Oluseye, popularly known as Tukana as the new Secretary to the State Government.
Even though the former SSG said he quit for personal reasons, in an interview on Monday, he claimed that the Governor mistreated, and marginalised him for the period he worked with him. He put a lie to the Governor’s claim of funding his office to the tube of N5m per month, insisting that his office never received any money like that. He said that he was poorly funded, and regretted helping the Governor to office in 2016.
The new SSG was a Commissioner under Mimiko and was appointed by Akeredolu, last year, following a minor cabinet reshuffle
Until his new appointment, he was the state commissioner for Natural Resources.
A couple of weeks ago, Deputy Governor Agboola Ajayi has quit the APC, but refused to quit his office as the DG.
