The Ondo State Commissioner for Information, Bamidele Ademola-Olateju, has confirmed that President Bola Tinubu was the one who personally asked that the embattled Deputy Governor of the state, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, should sign an undated letter of resignation in his bid to intervene in the political crisis that has been rocking the state in the past three months.
Ademola-Olateju who disclosed this in an interview programme on Channels Television’s Lunchtime Politics on Friday, said the President made the request during a peace meeting in Abuja to prevent any further impasse between Aiyedatiwa and the ailing state Governor Rotimi Akeredolu.
“First of all, before I even talk about the Abuja meeting, I just want to thank the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for being a very good leader, wielding into the crisis in Ondo State,” Ademola-Olateju said.
