Ondo State Governor Disbands Media Crew attached to Deputy Governor's Office

In a surprising move, Ondo State Governor, Mr Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, has disbanded the media crew attached to the office of his Deputy, Lucky Aiyedatiwa. This decision comes amidst alleged rift and power struggle between the duo, as Akeredolu recently returned from Germany where he went for medical leave.

The Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Richard Olatunde, released a statement to journalists stating that all media aides who were appointed by Akeredolu and seconded to the office of the deputy governor have been relieved of their appointments with immediate effect.

The media crew that has been disbanded includes the Press Secretary to the Governor, Kenneth Odusola; Special Assistant to the Governor (New Media), Okunniga Oladipupo; and Special Assistant to the Governor (Photography), Abayomi Samson Adefolalu.

The statement further instructed the affected media aides to submit all government properties in their possession to the Acting Permanent Secretary, Office of the Deputy Governor. Additionally, the press crew attached to the office of the deputy governor has also been disbanded, and all members are expected to report back to their various ministries and stations.

This unexpected move by Governor Akeredolu has raised eyebrows and fueled speculations about the alleged rift between him and his deputy, Lucky Aiyedatiwa. While the exact cause of the rift remains unknown, it is clear that tensions have been brewing between the two political figures.

In response to the disbandment, Akeredolu has directed the Ministry of Information and Orientation to provide adequate media coverage for the activities of the deputy governor's office moving forward. This decision highlights the governor's intention to maintain control over the narrative surrounding his deputy and ensure effective communication to the public.

The disbandment of the media crew and the subsequent reassignment of media coverage responsibilities demonstrate a significant shift in the dynamics within the Ondo State Government. The repercussions of this decision, both politically and administratively, remain to be seen.

As the media crew members return to their respective ministries and stations, they are likely to face uncertainty and readjustment. Their previous roles supporting the deputy governor's office have come to an abrupt end, leaving them to adapt to new assignments.

Moreover, the disbandment raises questions about the future relationship and cooperation between Governor Akeredolu and Deputy Governor Aiyedatiwa. Will this move further strain their already fragile bond, or will it serve as a catalyst for reconciliation and improved collaboration?

For now, the public can only wait and see how the developments within the Ondo State Government unfold. As the Ministry of Information and Orientation assumes responsibility for media coverage of the deputy governor's office, the extent and transparency of communication with the public will be closely monitored.

Ultimately, the disbandment of the media crew attached to the office of the deputy governor highlights the complex dynamics and power struggles that exist within the Ondo State Government. It remains to be seen how this decision will impact the overall functioning and stability of the government, as well as the relationship between Akeredolu and Aiyedatiwa.
