Former Senior Special Assistant on Special Duties and Strategy to the late Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State, Doyin Odebowale, has explained why he can’t work with the newly sworn-in governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa.

Odebowale explained that he worked with Akeredolu for about three decades, hence can’t commit the same level of dedication and loyalty to Aiyedatiwa.

Odebowale, alongside other key aides to late Akeredolu, resigned their appointments following the governor’s death.

On Wednesday, Akeredolu gave up the ghost in after battling with prostrate cancer.

Addressing journalists in Akure, Odebowale recalled how he convinced Akeredolu to contest the 2018 gubernatorial election.

He said, “I have worked with Akeredolu for 30 years. I was the last person who convinced him to contest the previous election.

“I wrote all his campaign content. It is more of a personal reason for me. I have nothing against whoever is in office now.

“I have nothing left to do in the office when the person who brought me there is no longer there. I can’t remain in that space and pretend.

“I can’t be as committed as I was with Akeredolu because I got all his . It was not political. He gave me the wings to fly. He was my brother, like a family.”

Just dey play! Next person on board please.

If you can't work with him, another person who will be loyal to him will work with him.

Obviously the new Governor couldn't and never was interested in working with someone who was loyal to his ex boss who himself was never loyal to I presume

Whatever

Good of u loyal to ur master after death correct man i likeu

Fear fear, liar liar. You were all over the tv abusing the deputy governor and saying Akeredolu will return. Now you quickly ran away when that same deputy is the governor

Talk Truth... U dey part of d people wey dey fight d current governor

There's no way you can work with him, the explanation is not needed

Shame make you resign

Like the new governor cares.

Both seem to have fully white hairs

They believe Ekiti, Ondo and Ogun are slaves of Hausa and Fulanis

New goverment new dispensation.

You are a tribalist.

Some things are better imagined than experienced. How many people know that Lucky Aiyedatiwa was suggested to Akeredolu by Betty? But he and others have backstabbed the couple, if the interview granted by Akeredolu's ex aide is anything to go by.

Ebi n pa wa o. Tinubu.

Chispa:
Ebi n pa wa o. Tinubu.

Lol. Some people are hungry before Tinubu and they will still be hungry after Tinubu. E.g the e-beggers on Nairaland.

When u are serving the state, ur loyalty should be to the state, so even if Aketi is no more and u believe that he shares the same ideology with the present Governor, then it will not be hard to remain loyal.

Just tell us that u felt u will succeed Aketi, but since his death did not allow that arrangement to stand, u had to resign. Simple!

Politrics

Lies upon lies, if they give you ticket yo run as the governor you will ba? Since you said you have nothing left to fo in the government...

Believe politicians at your own peril

Smart moves, resign before they sack you

I hope its true

Loyalty is sacred. God bless your decision. 🙏

This newly accidentally ondo state governor sworn-in must definitely have a very bad past antecedents...

He command NO respect from people because he is a nobody..without good past..

I quote:
...I have nothing against whoever is in the office now..

There is more to this your explanation that you are not vomitting. It is well.
