Gov Aiyedatiwa Tells Plot By Guber Aspirant To Discredit Him With Claims Of Certificates Forgery
The Governor of Ondo State, Hon. Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, has said a plot is being perfected to discredit him with allegations of certificates Forgery ahead of gubernatorial contest in the state.
The Ondo State governorship election is scheduled to hold on September 21, 2024.
Aiyedatiwa who became governor following the date of his principal, late governor Rotimi Akeredolu, is said to be in prime position to pick his party, the All Progressives Congress’ ticket.
In statement made available today, January 8, 2024, and signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Prince Ebenezer Adeniyan, the governor maintained a particular governorship aspirant held a meeting in an hospitality centre where he instructed some individuals to come up write-ups that will paint a scenario that he forged certificates to contest earlier elections.
The meet, according to information, took place in the night of Sunday, January 7, 2024.
The statement, titled “CERTIFICATES: THE BLACKMAILERS ARE AT IT AGAIN” and detailed the evil machination against Governor Aiyedatiwa reads…
Our attention has been drawn to the mischievous plans by some political actors to embark on fresh unsubstantiated allegations against the Governor of Ondo State, Hon. Lucky Aiyedatiwa.
After failing woefully with their attempts to paint the Governor in bad light with the stories around the death of the former Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, these desperate elements have resorted to blackmail.
The first of such is to use faceless groups and individuals to make allegations of certificate forgery against the Governor.
A governorship aspirant last night held a meeting with some individuals at a popular hotel in Akure where he gave the directive to those present to write stories alleging that the Governor used forged certificates to contest election.
It is important to alert members of the public to this plot which is aimed at discrediting Mr. Governor ahead of the coming governorship election in the State.
Mr. Governor contested in a joint ticket with his former principal in the 2020 governorship election and his credentials were duly submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and those are in public domain.
Any attempt to raise allegations around the credentials of Mr. Governor is nothing but a plot out of the playbook of those who failed in their efforts to impeach him when he was Deputy Governor.
Mr. Governor remains committed to delivering on his promises to develop Ondo State and will not be distracted by the shenanigans of shameless politicians and their cronies.
