Being a deputy governor in Nigeria is most demanding because of sycophants who tried to create confusion and a rift between governors and their deputies. Nigerian contemporary history has shown that the relationship between governors and their deputies is not what it should be. Most of them are actually operating like cats and rats and some are actually going for each other’s jugular. The event of 1983 in Ondo State readily comes to mind when the relationship between the late Pa Ajasin and Chief Omoboriowo set the state on fire. The current Deputy governor of Ondo State, Hon Lucky Orimisan…
The Ondo Redemption Front (ORF), a coalition of concerned citizens dedicated to the preservation of democracy and the rule of law, issues a strong caution to the Ondo State House of Assembly against the planned impeachment of Deputy Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa. Additionally, we firmly call for an end to the relentless attacks on the Deputy Governor by Governor Rotimi Akeredolu’s aides, especially since his return from medical leave overseas. In recent times, Deputy Governor Aiyedatiwa has endured a series of unwarranted attacks, both in the media and the political arena, instigated by Governor Akeredolu’s operatives. The recent announcement of impeachment…
Barely 48 hours after the Speaker of the Ondo State House of Assembly, Hon. Olamide Oladiji, told the world that the House had no impeachment plan, we read in the news a purported directive by the House to its Clerk to write to the Deputy Governor of the State, Hon. Lucky Aiyedatiwa, over alleged gross misconduct. However, while the letter from the House was yet to get to the Deputy Governor, some media organisations reported that the said gross misconduct was on an alleged purchase of an armoured SUV by Aiyedatiwa while he was Acting Governor. The reports added…
