Group warns Akeredolu against Ondo Accountant-General

*He’s Acting Deputy Governor, Ajayi’s Script

The Ondo Southern Solidary Front(OSSF) has warned the Governor of Ondo State, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu of what it describes as ‘the destabilising’ activities of the State Accountant General, Mr Laolu Akindolie.

In a statement issued in Akure on Tuesday, the Publicity Secretary of the Group ,Adeoye Johnson specifically accused the Accountant General of allegedly acting the script of the state deputy governor, Agboola Ajayi.

“We know very well that Mr Governor will not believe what we are saying because the Accountant General is a friend of a trusted ally of the Governor.

“But we want to state clearly that the affinity of the Accountant General and the deputy Governor is such a strong one that dated back to the days of the twilight of the immediate past Government when the deputy governor was responsible for the abandonment of duties by the accountant General when Mimiko needed him most .

“We are warning that as we approach the party primary and the election, we have credible evidence that the duo of Akindolie and Ajayi have perfected plans to frustrate certain MDAs by starving them of funds.

All such MDAs with potential meaningful impact on the State are now victims of the duo’s machinations.

“This is clear in the manner the AG has deliberately starved OSOPADEC of funds so that the people of the Riverine areas will be perpetually unhappy with the Governor. The motive is to demarket and make the governor so unpopular that he wont have any support base in the two riverine local Government areas of the state.

“This is the real reason the Accountant General can deliberately deny our teaming students their legitimate bursary. Monday’s picketing of the Office of the State Accountant-General is a big embarrassment.

There is no better reason to believe the Deputy Governor is using Akindolie than the fact that it beats peoples imagination that an AG who could not pay less than 200 million Naira of OSOPADEC fund can afford to pay the deputy Governor’s company ITDC the sum of 700 million. Where is the Accountant General’s loyalty?” the group stated.
