Sunday Abegunde, the immediate past Secretary to the Ondo State Government, has revealed that Governor Rotimi Akeredolu was not the winner of the 2016 governorship election.
Abegunde made this known in an interview he granted in Yoruba language on Crest FM, Akure, shortly after he tendered his resignation letter on Monday.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain noted that he was part of those that made it possible for Akeredolu to occupy the Government House despite not winning the election in 2016.
Abegunde said left the Akeredolu administration following the ill-treatment meted out to him by the governor for the three and a half years he occupied the position.
The former SSG revealed that he suffered in the present administration because the governor didn’t release any funds for his office.
Abegunde added that he resigned because he could no longer be part of a government that made its supporters and citizens pass through hardship.
He said, “I suffered in his (Akeredolu) administration because he didn’t release any fund for my office grants. He has been telling lies that he was giving me N5m every month even when he knew he didn’t give me such money.
“Where on Earth did the governor give me such funds? 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 lie that he was giving me N5m monthly if we meet face to face, and I would then return to Akure to resign and as well Inform the public of his looting sprees.
“Akeredolu didn’t win the 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.”
He added: “The Akeredolu’s administration is making the entire people of the state suffer and I cannot be part of that any longer. Everyone is suffering. He doesn’t pay salaries at the right time. As a matter of fact, Akeredolu has not performed to the expectations of the masses apart from the roads he is rehabilitating.
“Akeredolu has turned Former Governor Mimiko to a saint with his own abysmal performance. We now see that Mimiko did well as governor because he gave his people enough funds to operate. I had worked with three governor’s, and I can say that in the history of Ondo State, Akeredolu is the worst governor.”
I THINK THE MAN IS CRAZY . IS IT TODAY HE SUPPOSED TO SAID THAT AFTER 3 AND HALF YEARS . HE A THIEF .
He should have mentioned this from the pass not now that it is late. Well, maybe he felt maltreated.
Mad man have you forgotten what you said b4 about this government? Idiot Aketi does not gives you free hand to operate with state funds either you like it or not Aketi will rule for eight (8) years after you’ve collected #50,000000 fifty million from Agboola on Saturday for defection God punish you all
In his own words he helped the current state governor to stay in office despite not winning the election. This statement is enough to land you in prison in a sensible country.
He prevented justice and it’s a criminal offense. He is also not trustworthy and from the way he talks, he is also an illiterate. Tomorrow you will see this fool in another political office. That’s great part of the reason Nigeria is so messed up like it is. Nonsense!
So, The SSG, in his quest to rubbish the Governor confessed to Electoral Fraud. Can he go ahead and tell how they made him win ?.
He stupidly endured for 3 years ?, wondering if he was held captive till today.
Don’t believe these fools, they are playing a script. Something, somebody, somewhere is playing the drums. Politics is dirty.
This dishonourable man should be arrested for electoral robbery to serve as deterrent to other frudstars.
Why must and should he be making such unguided utterances now or is he making restitution ?
Please where are our security agent, this stupid man need to arrested. After collecting illegal salary for three years he is now saying rubbish. He should be made to refund all the salary and allowance he has collected. Bastard thief.
