Ondo State Deputy Governor, His Excellency, Hon. Lucky Aiyedatiwa, today insisted that he has not resigned from office as the duly elected Deputy Governor of the state.
He warned propagandists to avoid any fake news that may cause havoc in Ondo State, knowing full well that Mr. Governor had just arrived to resume office, hence, needs peace and orderliness in the state. He further warned desperate politicians who are professionals in masterminding fake news and scandal just to achieve their inordinate ambitions, to refrain from it.
“For me, I remain committed and devoted to My principal, Governor Akeredolu. No matter the scandal, I will never compromise my loyalty and faithfulness to Mr. Governor.” Aiyedatiwa insisted.
Ayedatiwa who was reacting to publications on social media that he has resigned as the deputy governor of the state in a purported pre-signed resignation letter, said he has no intention to resign.
In a statement personally signed by Ayedatiwa, and made available to journalists in the state, the Deputy Governor who denied the story, was designed to cause disharmony in the state.
The Ondo Deputy Governor warned those behind the publications to desist from such act, urging the people of the state to disregard the purported resignation.
The letter read: “My attention has been drawn to a rumour of a purported pre-signed resignation letter, signed by me, being circulated in the public domain.
“I wish to state that I, Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, the Deputy Governor of Ondo
State have not, do not intend and will not sign/author any letter resigning my position as the duly elected Deputy Governor in a joint ticket with my principal the Governor of Ondo State, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Odunayo Akeredolu

“I remain loyal to my Principal and I stand by the oath I took with the Bible to run the full cycle of the four year tenure with Mr. Governor.
“To this end I urge the people of Ondo State, the State Assembly and the general public to disregard such letter now and in the future”
