Ondo governor dissolves cabinet, retain two members
Ondo State Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa has dissolved the members of the State Executive Council with immediate effect.
Peoples Gazette reports that the SEC members included cabinet members such as commissioners, SSA and other political appointees of the governor.
Mr Aiyedatiwa, in a statement issued by his spokesman, Ebenezer Adeniyan, said the affected members were to hand over government property in their possession to the accounting officers.
The governor, however, exempted two members of the cabinet from the dissolution.
“They are the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Dr Kayode Ajulo, SAN, and the Commissioner for Finance, Mrs Omowunmi Isaac. All the affected cabinet members are to hand over all government property in their care to the accounting officers of their respective ministries. Governor Aiyedatiwa thanked the exco members for their service and contributions to the development of Ondo State under his administration and wished them well in their future endeavours,” the statement issued on Wednesday read.
The Gazette reported that the dissolution came barely one month after Mr Aiyedatiwa won the November 16, 2024, governorship poll.
The governor is expected to be sworn in by February 24, 2025.
