Ex-Secretary to Ondo State Government, Ifedayo Abegunde who resigned yesterday has made a shocking statement, alleging that Akeredolu’s victory in 2016 was manipulated.
Speaking on a radio programme monitored in Akure, the former SSG said he regretted working under Akeredolu in the last three and half years, saying he was exposed to hardship.
He said there was a cold war between him and the governor, adding that he quit the administration due to maltreatment.
Abegunde said he was unable to cater for the needs of his followers because the governor refused to release grant to his office.
He said: “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.”
Reacting to the allegation that he got N5 million monthly as grant, Abegunde, who disagreed with the governor, demanded for evidence.
His words: “I was suffering in his administration because he didn’t release any fund for my office grants. He has been telling lies that he was giving me N5 million every month even when he knew he didn’t give me such money..................
