Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo state, has terminated the appointments of six aides attached to his embattled deputy governor, Agboola Ajayi and his wife

The governor and his deputy have been having a running battle which finally led to the resignation of Ajayi from the All Progressives Congress (APC) and his defection to the PDP where he is likely to pick up the party’s governorship ticket and run against Governor Akeredolu in October this year.

The affected aides are Olomu Bayo, special assistant, special duties; Olawale Mukaila, special assistant, photography, Babatope Okeowo, deputy chief press secretary; Samuel Ogunmusi, personal assistant, (deputy governor), Omotunmise Tokunbo, special assistant to the wife of the deputy governor; and Erifeyiwa Akinnugba, photography, wife of the deputy governor.

While wishing them luck in their future endeavors, the governor advised the affected aides to submit all government’s properties in their possession to his Chief of Staff.
