Ondo State governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, has sacked the media aides attached to the office of his deputy Lucky Aiyedatiwa.
The Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Richard Olatunde, who confirmed the development through a statement on Tuesday in Akure, said his principal also disbanded the media team attached to the Aiyedatiwa’s office.
The governor, according to him, directed the Ministry of Information and Orientation to henceforth provide adequate coverage for the activities of the deputy’s governor office.
There are insinuations that Akeredolu and Aiyedatiwa no longer see eye-to-eye, a few days after the former returned to the country after a three-month medical vacation in Germany.
The governor returned to the country last Thursday and resumed duty 24 hours later.
The statement read: “They are to submit all government properties in their possession to the Acting Permanent Secretary, Office of the Deputy Governor. Similarly, the Press Crew attached to the office of the deputy governor has been disbanded.
“Consequently, all members of the Press Crew are to report back to their various ministries and stations.”
