Ondo: Why I Can�t Work With Gov Aiyedatiwa � Akeredolu�s Ex�Aide, Odebowale
Former Senior Special Assistant on Special Duties and Strategy to the late Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State, Doyin Odebowale, has explained why he can�t work with the newly sworn-in governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa.
Odebowale explained that he worked with Akeredolu for about three decades, hence can�t commit the same level of dedication and loyalty to Aiyedatiwa.
Odebowale, alongside other key aides to late Akeredolu, resigned their appointments following the governor�s death.
On Wednesday, Akeredolu gave up the ghost in Germany after battling with prostrate cancer.
Addressing journalists in Akure, Odebowale recalled how he convinced Akeredolu to contest the 2018 gubernatorial election.
He said, �I have worked with Akeredolu for 30 years. I was the last person who convinced him to contest the previous election.
�I wrote all his campaign content. It is more of a personal reason for me. I have nothing against whoever is in office now.
�I have nothing left to do in the office when the person who brought me there is no longer there. I can�t remain in that space and pretend.
�I can�t be as committed as I was with Akeredolu because I got all his support. It was not political. He gave me the wings to fly. He was my brother, like a family.�
