Aiyedatiwa fires cabinet members
Ondo State Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa has dissolved the State Executive Council.
This was contained in a statement issued on Wednesday by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Ebenezer Adeniyan, in Akure, the Ondo state capital.
The state executive council members include commissioners, Special Advisers and the Secretary to the State Government, SSG.
Aiyedatiwa, however, left two members of the cabinet from the dissolution, due to the critical nature of their duties.
