A group, Aketi Legacy Movement, has raised the alarm over the untimely retirement of the Head of Service of Ondo State, Kayode Ogundele, by Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa.
The gathering revealed that the move by the Governor to back Ogundele out of the common help was important for a ploy to eradicate the tradition of the late previous Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu from the state.
The Central Press Secretary to the Governor , Ebenezer Adeniyan, had uncovered on Tuesday that Aiyedatiwa had supported the retirement of Ogundele, with prompt impact, with Bayo Philip designated as Acting Head of Administration.
In a proclamation endorsed by the exposure secretary of the Aketi Heritage Development, Yomi Ayodele, “The new declaration of the retirement of Mr. Kayode Ogundele, the Head of Administration in Ondo State, has by and by built up our conviction that Governor Fortunate not entirely settled to delete each hint of the late Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu’s heritage.
“The authority articulation from the Governor guaranteed that Mr. Ogundele’s retirement was endorsed by the lead representative.
“In any case, this assertion appears to delude and trick individuals of Ondo State into trusting that Mr. Ogundele willfully surrendered, achieved a retirement age of 60 years, or served the expected number of administration years.
“It is hence urgent for people in general to comprehend that Governor Aiyedatiwa fired 57-year-old Ogundele as Head of Administration. He just served for 30 years.
“It is considerably really dispiriting that Governor Aiyedatiwa, who was supposed to finish the late Akeredolu’s residency, is quickly dissolving the tradition of the late lead representative.”
The gathering unveiled that Aiyedatiwa “supplanted an Ikare man with Mr. Bayo Philips, an Ilaje man, as the new Head of Administration,” focusing on that the lead representative has taken the situation in his old neighborhood.
Responding, Adeniyan said, “On the off chance that they say it’s politicized, they are constantly saying that Ogundele was a lawmaker or that he waded into controversy with his situation as HoS.”
He added that the choice was taken to renew the common assistance for what he depicted as ideal execution.
