Former political aides to the late governor of Ondo state, Rotimi Akeredolu, have hurriedly tendered their resignation letters, citing their loyalty to him.
They include a commissioner, Special Advisers, and Assistants appointment by the late Governor Akeredolu.
This is coming as the new governor, Hon Lucky Aiyedatiwa took charge of the affairs of the state after being sworn in as the seventh civilian governor of the state on Wednesday by the state’s Chief Judge, Justice Olusegun Odusola.
The aides hinged their decision to resign on the demise of their benefactor, the late Governor Akeredolu.
But findings by vanguard revealed that the fear of being dropped by the new governor was the reason behind their actions.
A reliable source told Vanguard that ” those throwing in the towel, were just being clever by half. They knew the parts they played during the crisis.
“They’re only afraid of what’s to come. They knew that the new governor would soon reshuffle the cabinet, hence they threw in the towel.
“They were just being jittery. They don’t want to be disgraced by being dropped by the governor ahead of changes that would eventually come.
“So they played a fast one by resigning even on the exact day the new governor was sworn in.
