Signals emanating from Ondo State All Progressives Congress, APC indicate that embattled Governor Rotimi Akeredolu has been abandoned by politicians in his cabinet.
Recall that his deputy, Agboola Ajayi had abandoned him barely three weeks ago.
Akeredolu without restrain immediately sacked all his aides and declared a war on his former deputy.
On Monday, his Secretary to State Government, SSG, Sunday Abegunde equally jumped ship leaving the governor to sail alone.
The SSG reportedly gave reasons why he dumped his principal in an interview he granted in the Yoruba language on Crest FM, Akure, shortly after he tendered his resignation to the state governor in a letter he personally signed on Monday.
He said he had to resign from the Akeredolu-led government following the ill-treatment meted out to him by the governor for the three and a half years he was with him.
However Abegunde resigned dropping a bomb shell as he revealed that the election that brought his former principal to power was massively rigged.
He is alleged to be preparing to defect to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP within the week further compounding Akeredolu’s re-election bid.
The APC crisis is fast turning into washing of dirty linens in the glare of the public, this factor definitely will shape the Ondo guber election.
Now that the citizenry of the state know that their governor allegedly stole another man’s mandate and has been in government house for almost four years calls for a lot of questioning.
It’s a known fact in the Sunshine State that the embattled Governor is not popular and his chances of returning to the position of the number one citizen of the state is already in jeopardy.
Unlike in Edo state, the governor, Godwin Obaseki defected alongside his deputy and the entire cabinet relocated into PDP, Akeredolu’s men are abandoning him to sail alone.
