Ondo State’s leader, Rotimi Akeredolu, has made a decisive move. He’s dismissed all media aides linked to Deputy Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa.
Richard Olatunde, the Chief Press Secretary to Governor Akeredolu, shared this development.
The affected personnel include Kenneth Odusola, the Press Secretary, and Okunniga Oladipupo, the Special Assistant on New Media.
Also on the list is Abayomi Samson Adefolalu, the Special Assistant for Photography. The statement further directed these aides.
They must return all government-owned items to the Deputy Governor’s office’s Acting Permanent Secretary. In another significant move, the press crew for the deputy governor has been disbanded.
Members are now to revert to their original ministries and stations. The Ministry of Information and Orientation has a new mandate. It will handle the coverage of the deputy governor’s official activities.
