Alleges that Rotimi Akeredolu, lost the 2016 governorship election to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, candidate, Eyitayo Jegede.
The
former Secretary to Ondo State Government, SSG, Ifedayo Abegunde has alleged that Governor Rotimi Akeredolu lost the 2016 governorship election to the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, candidate, Eyitayo
Jegede.
Abegunde resigned his appointment as
the SSG on Monday morning.
According
to Abegunde, it was through his
power and that of some other APC pillars that made INEC to declare Akeredolu as governor after he had
lost.
“Akeredolu didn’t win the election in
2016 but we made it possible for him to become governor. We were the pillars
behind him and we will not support him again. He will lose this time around.”
“Akeredolu has reduced the government to
the property of his wife, son and in-laws. All the contracts in the state are
being given to his wife, son and the people from Imo state.”
Speaking
after his resignation in Akure, Abegunde
described as enormous the sufferings he underwent in the hands of Governor
Akeredolu for the three and half years, he held sway as the Secretary to his
government.
Abegunde said, “I was suffering in his (Akeredolu) administration because he
didn’t release any funds for my office. He has been telling lies that he was
giving me N5 million every month even when he knew he didn’t give me such
money.”
It
would be recalled that Abegunde represented Akure North/South Federal
Constituency in the House of Representatives from 2011 to 2015.
Speaking
on his next political move, the former SSG, however, disclosed that he has
decided to support another aspirant from the APC, Mr. Segun Abraham, whom he described as the ‘Messiah’ that Ondo State
needs.
