Adelami said that he had been pursuing a federal appointment when he was unexpectedly nominated by Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa.
The deputy governor designate stated this during a visit to traditional rulers in his hometown of Owo, the headquarters of the Owo Local Government Area of the State on Friday.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Aiyedatiwa had nominated Olayide Adelami, a former deputy clerk of the National Assembly, as his deputy after the dissolution of the state cabinet on Wednesday.
