Aiyedatiwa Denies Sponsoring Protest Against Akeredolu
The embattled Deputy Governor of Ondo State, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has denied being behind a planned protest against Governor Rotimi Akeredolu.
A group of youths in the state under the aegis of Ondo Youth and Masses Conscience, had on Monday, raised alarm over a plan by those loyal to Aiyedatiwa to protest against Akeredolu’s absence in the state.
The State Coordinator of the youth group, Adetunji Benjamin, alleged that the plan was aimed at portraying Akeredolu as incapacitated, hidden away from public view by his family and associates.
But in a statement, he personally signed in Akure on Monday, the Deputy Governor disowned the alleged protesters, saying that he was not behind the planned protest.
Aiyedatiwa also stated that he was not aware of any such protest and that no group nor association has his endorsement to carry out public demonstrations of any kind.
The embattled deputy governor therefore asked the security operatives in the state to continue to maintain peace and ensure that the good people of the state.
Conclusion
