Ajulo, Others Make Aiyedatiwa’s Commissioner-Nominees List

Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa on Friday re-forwarded the names some of the commissioners he sacked from the members of the State Executive Council.

New among the nominees is a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Kayode Ajulo, who was vocal during the crisis that nearly saw the impeachment of Aiyedatiwa as Deputy Governor before the death of his late principal, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu in December.

The four nominees and others were part of the names listed as Commissioner-nominees forwarded to the House of Assembly for screening and confirmation.

This was contained in a statement issued by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Prince Ebenezer Adeniyan, on Friday in Akure, the state capital.

Those returning to the cabinet are Engr. Rasaq Obe, Emmanuel Igbasan, Barr. Akinwumi Sowore and Olamide Falana.

The governor also appointed three Special Advisers to the cabinet.

They include Olugbenga Omole, Special Adviser on Information & Strategy, Olamide Falana, Special Adviser on Gender Affairs and Alabi Johnson, Special Adviser on Energy.

Aiyedatiwa had hinted that he plans to return some of the sacked members of the State Executive Council (SEC) to the government.

The governor while overseeing the swearing-in of deputy governor, Dr Olayide Adelami on Thursday, said, “Some of you are coming back soon. Some people have served. Some are waiting and some are still serving and some of you are coming back.”
