A chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State, Barrister Sola Ajisafe, has accused the acting governor of the state, Hon. Lucky Aiyedatiwa of planning to reshuffle the State Executive Council contrary to the agreement reached with President Bola Tinubu.

Ajisafe, a former state coordinator of the NPOWER programme of the federal government, alleged that the acting governor wants to embark on the exercise to undermine Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu who is recuperating in an undisclosed hospital.

Speaking while featuring on a radio programme titled ‘Heart of the Matter’ monitored by LEADERSHIP in the state capital, Ajisafe noted that Aiyedatiwa decided to reshuffle the council to favour his supporters in the government.

According to him, “the Acting Governor would redeploy the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Princess Oladunni Odu to the Ministry of Commerce while the Commissioner for Finance, Mr Wale Akinterinwa would be posted to Culture and Tourism.”

Pointedly, Ajisafe disclosed that the action of the acting governor “Is contrary to the 1999 constitution and the agreement reached with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu during the peace meeting held in Abuja.”

His words “Section 190 of the Constitution did not give the Deputy Governor the power to reshuffle the cabinet. The section gives the Acting Governor to right to act on behalf of the governor not to override the decisions of the governor. There can’t be two governors at the same time.”

Ajisafe said the two memos that emanated from the office of the Acting Governor including the freezing of the local governments and Local Council Development Area (LCDA) accounts and that the Chief of Protocol (COP) to Akeredolu are capable of undermining the office of the governor.

He maintained that the actions, and the protest by non-state actors demanding the resignation of Akeredolu, showed that Aiyedaiwa wanted to succeed his boss through any means.

According to him, the first time President Tinubu summoned the gladiators to Abuja, there was no effort on the part of the Acting Governor as the leader of the state to reconcile all warring factions, rather he said he recruited non-state actors to protest to demand the resignation of Governor Akeredolu.

Ajisafe said “These are the people who are not seen when they are needed but always come when their services are needed.

“When Owo was attacked, they were not seen. During covid 19, they were nowhere to be found. When herdsmen were on the prowl, they kept quiet. During the endsars protests, they did not protest. They only came when they had an agenda to push.

“When they returned from Abuja the second term and Aiyedatiwa was made the Acting Governor, these people said Akeredolu was incapacitated and that he should relinquish the seat.

“Section 189 of the constitution talked about permanent incapacitation, not as freely being used by these people. These are the people who are pushing an agenda capable of rocking the boat of progress in Ondo State.”
