Ondo Govt Raises Alarm Over Plot To Blackmail Governor’s Son

Ondo Govt has raised alarm over the plot to blackmail the governor’s son.

Glamtush reports that the Ondo State government has raised the alarm over a plot to blackmail the son and state governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, SAN.

This online platform understands that the government said the plot involves an allegation that the Governor and his son are attempting to take over the management of the forest reserves so as to corner the resources for personal gains.

The Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Donald Ojogo disclosed this in a statement titled, ‘Ondo Govt Raises Alarm Over Plot To Blackmail Governor’s Son,’ made available to newsmen on Sunday.

It read, “It has come to our notice that some unscrupulous individuals have perfected plans to blackmail the Akeredolu administration, using the first family as a target of their smear campaign

“The plan, which was hatched and orchestrated by these individuals, particularly, targeted the Governor’s son, Babajide Akeredolu, on allegations of high handedness and interference with serious government decisions, especially as it relates to the economic activities at the government reserves

“Succinctly, the purveyors of this heinous plot have perfected plans to lie against the Governor and his son of attempting to take over the management of the forest reserves so as to corner the resources for personal gains.

“For the avoidance of doubt, Governor Akeredolu handles the business of government with utmost respect and accountability. The government decision to ban all logging activities and subsequent lifting of the ban, are all in the interest of the state.

“This government is exploring all avenues and blocking loopholes to shore up its Internally Generated Revenue so as to ensure that more funds are brought into the government coffers to drive development in the state. We will not fold arms and allow disgruntled elements to ruin the gains that have been recorded and being consolidated in the state.

“Under this administration, we have recorded significant progress and growth in our IGR. For a government that has shown accountability and readiness to explore all economic angles for the progress of the state in the past four years, it is not only laughable but, preposterous for any disgruntled group to suggest that Governor Akeredolu’s son was planning to man the ministry of natural resources for personal gain.”

Ojogo urged members of the public to disregard the lies being peddled around by bad losers whose aim is to distract the Governor and government of the state.
