Senior Special Assistant on Special Duties and Strategy to Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, Dr. Doyin Odebowale, says desperate politicians are sustaining the onslaught of negative publications against the governor to have unfettered access to the state’s treasury.
Odebowale said the rumour mongers were beneficiaries of the governor.
He said the authors of the rumour planned to draw mileage from the absence of the governor.
Odebowale, in a statement issued last night in Akure, said they (the desperate politicians) would stop at nothing to stoke the ember of contrived acrimony to take maximum advantage of the current situation.
According to the statement: “These rootless politicians, ostensible representatives of the people without followers, believe that the best way to portray the current health challenge of the governor is to spread falsehood against those perceived as impediments to their prebendal predilections.
“They are setting members of the Executive Council against one another, dropping dangerous but mendacious hints against their fellow appointees.
“They praise some as “honest”, “brilliant” and “diligent” while condemning others, perceived to being in the “opposing camp”, as “corrupt” and “inordinately ambitious”. They hold constant meetings, speculating on the state of health of the governor.
“These elements attract negative sentiments to an administration which had enjoyed relative peace and overwhelming goodwill from the people, based on impactful achievements.”
