The re-election seeking Governor of Ondo State Rotimi Akeredolu has reacted to the bombshell of an allegation made against him by his estranged deputy governor Agboola Ajayi.

Ajayi is the candidate of the Zenith Labour Party for the October 10 gubernatorial election in Ondo state.

Ajayi alleged that every month, Governor Akeredolu gets N750million security vote, N150m imprest while his wife gets an imprest of N15million ‘’ additional sum of N11 million from the Ministry of Women Affairs, which she runs like a potentate..’’

Akeredolu reacted to the allegations through his chief press secretary Segun Ajiboye in a report monitored by societynow.ng on premiumtimesng.com.

Ajiboye stated that “True to type, Ajayi has resorted to lies and fabrications that Mr Governor gets a monthly payment of N750m as security vote…

“This brazen misinformation is not a surprise but a true reflection of the unstable and treacherous content in Ajayi.

“The general public is urged to take advantage of the Freedom of Information Act to interrogate both statements by Mr Governor and Ajayi. For the avoidance of doubt, the State Bureaucracy which process such payments is very available to confirm the veracity or frivolity of either of the statements.

“The October 10 governorship election is between integrity and the absence of it. The patent greed which has provided motivation for the treachery and perfidy of Ajayi appears to have created further paths of dishonesty to oil his political misadventure. Succinctly, he is misled my his mind of greed.

“By his antecedents, Agboola Ajayi would have wittingly provided evidence of the payment of such huge amount even before now if it was true.”
