Yemi Akintomide, one of the media aides of Ondo State deputy governor and candidate of Zenith Labour Party (ZLP), Agboola Ajayi, has resigned his appointment and disclosed that he is ready to support the second term agenda of Governor Rotimi Akeredolu in the All Progressives Congress (APC).
His resignation letter read,
“My advice for you, Excellency, is that you stay clear of Mimiko and his Covid-19 infected ZLP. Such a move will be politically suicidal. Pls, stay put in PDP even if you’re not going to take the deputy governorship slot. I believe with your steadfast and contribution to the success of the party in the governorship election, the Senate ticket will be a walk over for you.”
“It was thereafter, you sought my opinion on the workability of a ‘Third Force’. Recall too, that I bluntly advised you against it because of the time frame before the election, huge financial implications and more importantly, the involvement of former governor, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko.”
“For you, dear leader, you must have been ill-advised to jump the gun while others are yet to leave the dressing room. However sir, I salute your courage and resilience spirit so far, to dare the power that be and challenge your boss in the governorship race; I must confess to Your Excellency, this your bold and courageous move would be recorded to your name as a politician who changed and will continue to change many very important policies and engagements of the current administration to the betterment of the generality of our people.”
In an interview with Premium Times, the deputy governor who spoke through spokesman said he is free to go as he has never been part of them.
“He’s free to go. He’s just forcing himself on us before now. He has never been with us,” the spokesperson said
