Doyin Odebowale A former aide to the late Governor Rotimi Akeredolu who also served as the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Special Duties and Strategy, Doyin Odebowale, has given the reason he resigned his appointment from the government of Ondo State after the death of his boss, Rótìmí Akeredolu.
Rotimi Akeredolu died on Wednesday, December 27, 2023, after a prolonged ailment. Consequently, his deputy, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, who has been the Acting Governor of the State was sworn in as the Executive Governor of the state.
Odebowale who spoke to the journalists yesterday revealed that his decision to Resign from the State Executive was to fulfill his integrity. He insisted that he bear no grudge against the present Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa but he can never be loyal to him as he was loyal to his late boss, Rotimi Akeredolu.
He reportedly said, "Having worked with Akeredolu for over 30 years, he could not guarantee the same commitment he had with the late governor to the newly sworn-in governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa.
Speaking further he said, “I have worked with Akeredolu for 30 years. I was the last person who convinced him to contest in the previous election. I wrote all his campaign content. It is more of a personal reason to me. I have nothing against whosoever 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 politicking. He gave me the wings to fly. He was my brother like a family.”
