Aiyedatiwa Appoints Fasoranti’s Son As SSG, Pays Tribute To Akeredolu At Swearing-In
Ondo State governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, who was sworn in as the seventh democratically elected governor yesterday, had appointed Dr. Taiwo Fasoranti as Secretary to the State Government (SSG).
Fasoranti, a medical doctor, is the son of Afenifere leader, Chief Reuben Fasoranti.
He replaces Tayo Oluwatuyi, who died in a car accident last December.
Speaking during his swearing-in, Aiyedatiwa credited his emergence to the ‘prophecy’ of his late predecessor, Rotimi Akeredolu.
Aiyedatiwa and his deputy, Olaide Adelami, took the oath of office on Monday, administered by the state’s Chief Judge, Olusegun Odunsola.
