The Governor of Ondo State, Lucky Aiyedatiwa on Wednesday dissolved the State Executive Council.

The statement from Adeniyan read: “All members of the Cabinet are to immediately hand over to the Permanent Secretaries or the most senior administrative officers in their respective offices.
”Also, all Senior Special Assistants (SSAs) and Special Assistants (SAs) are relieved of their duties, with immediate effect.
