Ondo commissioner, Adeyanju, resigns hours after redeployment

One of the commissioners in Ondo State, Yetunde Adeyanju, has resigned from the state executive council a few hours after the cabinet was reshuffled.

Governor Rotimi Akeredolu redeployed Adeyanju from the Ministry of Water Resources to the Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development in the exercise.

In a letter addressed to the governor on Wednesday, the commissioner said the decision was based on a personal conviction to explore other opportunities outside politics.

The letter read: “I, hereby, resign my appointment as a Commissioner in Ondo State with immediate effect.

“My decision is predicated on a personal conviction to explore other endeavours outside politics for now.

“However, I’m grateful to you for the golden opportunity given to me to contribute to the growth of our dear state, especially with the Kamomi Aketi Rural Water Supply.

“You gave me the platform and I’m proud that I used it well for the good of humanity. Kamomi AKETI water scheme remains the joy of thousands of rural dwellers today. Once again, I thank you for the opportunity to serve. ”
