THE Governor of Ondo State, Lucky Aiyedatiwa has today dissolved the State Executive Council, effective immediately.
“All members of the Cabinet (who were appointed by late Governor Rotimi Akeredolu) are to immediately hand over to the Permanent Secretaries or the most senior administrative officers in their respective offices,” the governor’s spokesman, Ebenezer Adeniyan, said in a statement.
Aiyedatiwa also relieved all Senior Special Assistants (SSAs) and Special Assistants (SAs) of their duties.
“All the affected officials are directed to hand over all government properties in their possession.
“The Governor thanks the affected officials for their services and contributions to the development of the State.”
After Akeredolu’s passing on December 27, 2023, Aiyedatiwa, who had previously served as deputy governor of Ondo, took office as the South-West state’s sworn-in governor.
Recall that the former deputy governor survived an impeachment plot by some Akeredolu’s allies in the Ondo State House of Assembly when the ex-governor was ill.
