My Deputy Was A Snake That Had To Go For Us To Sleep Well -- Akeredolu by suasmablow(op): 5:35pm On Oct 12, 2020
The reelected governor of Ondo State, Rotimi Akeredolu has described his estranged deputy, Agboola Ajayi has a snake that had to go for him to sleep well.


The governor stated this in a post-election victory interview.


Gov.Akeredolu said the betrayal of Mr.Ajayi has taught him a lesson in politics.


“The event that commenced this process like the Deputy Governor who decided to jump ship. I was shocked too. Although, I got to know it’s going to happen when I saw his movements. I said okay, this man has made up his mind to go.


“I think God answered my prayer, I was praying for him to go and I think he has to go anyway because you cannot have people who will be there and want to stab you at the back and you want to keep them in the house, no.


“You cannot have a snake under your roof and think you can sleep well. So, it was good we asked the snake to go, so we had to sleep properly.


“So, that’s taught me a lesson in politics. But it’s not a new thing. It has happened over and over, right here in South West, even in the North, everywhere.


He expressed optimism that the Deputy-Elect, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, would not betray him like Agboola.


Gov.Akeredolu also expressed shock at the results of Akure South, Akure North, and Ifedore local government areas where the PDP Candidate, Eyitayo Jegede defeated him.


He added that He thought he would win in those localities because he worked in those areas where he said people turned against the APC


“I’m shocked at what happened in Akure because I take Akure South, Akure North, and Ifedore as one Akure. So, I’m shocked at the development there.


“But I’ll put that behind me. I’ll move forward. I thought I would win in Akure because I worked in those three local governments where people turned against us. But it’s alright with me. We’ll forget it.”
