By our reporter| Ondo state governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, currently battling COVID-19, has no intension of handing over governance to his deputy, Agboola Ajayi, the state commissioner for information, Donald Ojogo said on Friday.
Governor Akeredolu tested positive for COVID-19 and has since gone into isolation.
The commissioner who made the disclosure at a briefing in Akure on Friday, described the deputy governor as the greatest threat to good governance in the state“who no longer” calls the shot, hence the governor will not be blackmaied into handing over to him.
He said, “Handing over the governance of the state to Agboola is a none issue and we are not even considering that.”
“I know as a matter of fact nobody would want to do that and if we advice the governor it should be on what basis?
“He (deputy governor) has created an unusual scenario upon which he wanted to climb into the next step in his political ambition and we have seen this as a misadventure.
“We cannot toil with what we have built over the years. We cannot risk and attempt to hand over to someone who has exhibited the widest scenario of betrayal.
“So, it is unthinkable and unquestionable. If that is the reasons why the deputy governor is sponsoring some write-ups that the governor must hand over to him. He is only joking and it is not going to happen.
“Mr. Governor is saying COVID-19 is not a death sentence and he is strong enough to work.”
