The former Secretary
to Ondo State Government, SSG, Ifedayo Abegunde has disclosed that his
erstwhile principal, Rotimi Akeredolu, lost the 2016 governorship election to
the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, candidate, Eyitayo Jegede.
Abegunde had on
Monday morning resigned his appointment from as the SSG.
According to him, 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.”
Abegunde further
alleged that only the immediate family of the governor, as well as his in-laws
from Imo State, are enjoying governance in the state.
“Akeredolu has
reduced the government to the property of his wife, son and in-laws from Imo
state. All the contracts in the state are being given to his wife, son and the
people from Imo state.”
The former SSG, who
spoke in Akure, the Ondo State capital shortly after his resignation, 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.”
Abegunde who
represented Akure North/South Federal Constituency in the House of
Representatives between 2011 to 2015 disclosed that the ill-treatment melted on
him by Akeredolu made him to quit.
While speaking on
his next political journey, 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.
