Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has nominated a kinsman of the late former Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, Olayide Adelami, as his deputy governor.
Chief Adelami who hails from Owo, Owo local government area, retired as Deputy Clerk to the National Assembly in April 2018.
Adelami was an All Progressives Congress, APC, gubernatorial aspirant in 2020 but stepped down for the late Akeredolu.
He was first enlisted into the Federal Civil Service as an Accountant II in December 1983 and later posted to resume to the Treasury Department of the Accountant General of the Federation office.
Aiyedatiwa had on Wednesday sacked all the commissioners, Senior Special Assistants, Special Assistants and dissolved the entire Ondo State Executive Council in a bid to start on a clean slate.
However, tongues have been wagging since the press release by Prince Ebenezar Adeniyan, Chief Press Secretary to the Ondo state Governor as political stakeholder described the move as too harsh.
