The Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has picked a former Deputy Clerk of the National Assembly, Olaide Adelami, as the deputy governor.
Aiyedatiwa, who succeeded Rotimi Akeredolu after his death a couple of weeks ago, has also sacked all the commissioners, special advisers and aides that were put together by his late predecessor.
A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Governor Ebenezer Adeniyan said that the name of the new deputy governor has been transmitted to the State House of Assembly for approval.
“His nomination will be announced by the House of Assembly later today,” the statement said.
Adelami, who hails from Owo, the headquarters of Owo Local Government Area, the late Governor Rotimi Akeredolu’s town, retired as Deputy Clerk to the National Assembly in April 2018.
Adelami was an APC governorship aspirant in 2020 but stepped down for the late Akeredolu.
