The secretary to the Ondo state government, Ifedayo Abegunde has tendered his resignation ahead of the state guber poll.
In a letter dated July 6, 2020, Abegunde appreciated Rotimi Akeredolu, the governor, for giving him the opportunity to serve.
However, he did not give the reason for his resignation but wished the governor, who is currently being treated for COVID-19, a quick recovery.
”I, Hon. Ifedayo Sunday Abegunde, the Secretary to the State Government of Ondo State, hereby tender my letter of resignation,” the letter read.
”I want to thank Mr. Governor for giving me the opportunity to serve the Government and people of Ondo State.
”Again, my family and I wish Mr. Governor quick recovery.”
His resignation coming two weeks after Agboola Ajayi, deputy governor of the state, dumped the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Akeredolu has indicated interest in seeking another term but the crisis rocking the Ondo chapter of the APC and falling out with two key members of his camp three months to the election would surely have effect on the race.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has fixed October 10 for the Ondo election.
