Ondo Govt Uncovers Plans To Blackmail Akeredolu
The Ondo state government has raised the alarm over surreptitious plans by some individuals to blackmail governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu and members of his immediate family.
According to a statement issued by the state commissioner for Information and Orientation, Donald Ojogo, the enemies of good governance are plotting to blackmail and discredit Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN and some senior government officials.
Mr. Ojogo noted that the motive of those behind this heinous plot is to distract the administration as it commences the aggregation of the modest achievements within the first 100 days of the Governor’s second term.
The commissioner said some
disgruntled losers and their known accomplices have hatched several devices among others to blackmail Governor Akeredolu.
The method, he added included the cloning of official documents, outright fabrication of fictitious documents and concoction of imaginary data and perceived details and linking same to the Governor, his immediate family and a few government officials.
The statement added, “Already, a few of such fake documents have been fraudulently procured and sent to selected Media Houses in line with the intention of the sponsors of this devious act.
“For the records, the Akeredolu-led administration stands on the tripod of integrity, transparency and accountability. These inspiring watchwords have provided the needed confidence and vigour for the government to thrive on the path of the modest efforts in the last four years plus.
“These virtues were indeed, the reasons sponsors of such plots could not find any incriminating transactions against the Government in the build-up to the last elections inspite of strenuous efforts in that regard.
“For Governor Akeredolu, he has moved on since the election and remains the pilot of the Ondo State Project for the benefit of all without discrimination. Elections, the intrigues as well as the activities of players remain confined to the past, he believes”
