Ondo 2020: Akeredolu Notorious for Character Defect – Agboola Ajayi

The deputy governor of Ondo state, Honourable Agboola Ajayi has described governor Rotimi Akeredolu’s Incessant verbal Attacks on him as a sad reflection of the Governor’s Character

Akeredolu had during an interview on a National television called his deputy a nincompoop and Political neophyte, among other unprintable names.

However, responding through a press statement signed by his Media aide, Mr. Allen sowore, made available to Nigerian Cable news online on Tuesday, the deputy Governor said Akeredolu has proven beyond reasonable doubt that he’s a man without character, who can only bring disgrace to Ondo State in the comity of states.

He said:

“We watched with consternation and disbelief the interview which the outgoing Governor of Ondo State, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu SAN, granted on Arise Television vie Webex and anchored by Reuben Abati, where Mr Governor used profane and foul expressions on the person of the Deputy Governor, His Excellency Agboola Ajayi. Sadly, Mr Governor’s reckless gaffe is a continuation of his fruitless and sterile efforts to demean the constitutionally established office of the Deputy Governor and his person.”

“The Deputy Governor, Agboola Ajayi is not surprised at this latest castigation of his person by Mr Governor. This has been the favourite tactics of Akeredolu and now that he’s frustrated by the people’s obvious rejection of his reelection bid, it’s expected that he would not desist on the road to infamy and perfidy.”

“Governor Akeredolu is notorious for having a loose tongue, fueled most times by Dutch courage. His verbal attacks on notable leaders, particularly whenever they disagree with his clannish myopic world view is well established. Therefore it’s in his character to hurl verbal grenades which are usually undignifying of his age, person, professional calling and the political office he currently occupies.”

“Again, Akeredolu’s macabre dance of shame on a national television on Monday, September 7, 2020, where he called the Deputy a “neophyte” and other unprintable names vindicates the Deputy Governor’s assessment of the governor as a man without character; a certified and egomaniac misfit, whom the gods have promoted above his character and capacity to govern a decent state like Ondo.”

“Like the biblical Saul, Rotimi Akeredolu SAN, has become intimidated, angry and envious of the past achievements, present acceptance and the daily rising profile of the Deputy Governor as the October 10 Governorship election approaches. The Deputy Governor as a thorough bred and cultured person/politician, who has climbed through the political ladder: first as a former supervisor, local government chairman, member of the National Assembly, Deputy Governor and now the governorship candidate of the Zenith Labour Party ( ZLP), takes serious notice of and exception to the absolute disrespect and unrelenting verbal assault on his person, current office and his status as the governorship candidate of the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP).”

“More than ever before, the good people of Ondo State will now agree that Governor Rotimi Akeredolu SAN is undeserving of their mandate and votes. Akeredolu has proven beyond reasonable doubt that he’s a man/leader without character, who can only bring disgrace to Ondo State in the comity of states.” He added.
