Sacked Ondo State Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development Solagbade Amodeni, has accused Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of vendetta against the National Leader of the All Progressive Congress, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Amodeni was one of the three commissioners sacked on Monday by Governor Akeredolu for allegedly attending a political meeting called by Tinubu. Amodeni told newsmen that his sack from Akeredolu’s cabinet was not unexpected.
He said Tinubu controls a higher number of followers and supporters than Akeredolu who has been ruling the state for just a little over three years.
“I have no regret for being dropped as a commissioner by Akeredolu,” he said.
The former commissioner said he merited his sack from the cabinet of Akeredolu, considering the frosty relationship between Akeredolu and Tinubu, who he described as his political leader and mentor.
He refused to give any reason for his sack other than maintaining that his closeness to Tinubu was second to none.
Tinubu and Akeredolu had been at loggerheads since the conduct of the governorship primary election that produced Akeredolu as Tinubu allegedly sponsored another candidate against him.
It was also rumoured that Tinubu was also planning to sponsor a candidate against Akeredolu in the next year’s governorship poll in the state.
However, Amodeni claimed that he was not surprised with the sack, saying that he would continue to choose Tinubu as leader and place him above Akeredolu.
“Tinubu is greater than any governor in the history of Ondo State including Akeredolu. He is greater than any politician I have ever known or met in the world. He’s a world political leader and I will forever cherish and adore him,” he added
