Richard Olatunde, former Chief Press Secretary to the late Governor of Ondo State, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, strongly criticizes the current Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, accusing him of exploiting the deceased governor's name for political gains.
In a statement to journalists, Olatunde warns Aiyedatiwa to stop claiming that the late governor desired him to succeed in office, emphasizing that Aiyedatiwa's narrative is false.
According to Olatunde, despite Aiyedatiwa's February statement suggesting the late governor's support for him, the relationship between them became strained and distant until Akeredolu's passing.
He adds, “We caution Mr. Aiyedatiwa to cease these deceptive tactics and focus on his campaign. Akeredolu’s ardent followers, including members of his family, do not support Mr. Aiyedatiwa’s aspiration to clinch the ticket of the party.”
