Immediate past Secretary to the State Government in Ondo State, Ifedayo Abegunde, is blowing hot over his relationship with Governor Rotimi Akeredolu.
He is so angry with him that he says he will spit on the governor’s face if he claims in his presence that he gives his office N5m monthly.
This is one of his claims in an interview with Crest FM, Akure, on Monday, where he alleged that Akeredolu did not even win the election that brought him in in 2016.
According to Abegunde, it was he and other ‘pillars’ that got in the governor after he had failed in the election.
Abegunde argued:
“Where on earth did the governor give me such funds or let him come forward with the evidence?
“Recently, I reported him to Governor Fayemi of Ekiti State and he promised to invite both of us to Abuja for settlement.
“I remember that I told Fayemi that I was going to spit on the face of Akeredolu if he repeated the lies that he was giving me N5m monthly.
“And I will then return to Akure to resign and as well inform the public of his looting spree.”
“It was through the powers from me and other APC pillars that made INEC declare Akeredolu as governor after he had lost the election.
“So, Akeredolu didn’t win the Ondo governorship election in 2016 but we made it possible for him to become governor.
“We were the pillars behind him and we will not support him again. He will lose this time around.
“Akeredolu has reduced the government to the property of his wife, son and in-laws and all government contracts goes to these same set of people from the State.”
The former SSG’s departure from the All Progressives Congress suggests that Akeredolu will face a tough fight since his deputy, Agboola Ajayi, has also moved to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party.
