Gov. Oluwarotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State on Tuesday asked his deputy, Agboola Ajayi to resign if he still have any honour in himself.
Akeredolu, who secured his second term by winning last Saturday’s governorship election in the state gave this advise in an interview with State House Correspondents during his visit to President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
Akeredolu also seized the opportunity of the visit to present his Certificate of Return to the President at the Presidential Villa.
Ajayi had contested the governorship election against Akeredolu on the platform of the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP and came distant third after Eyitayo Jegede of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
The governor said even if Ajayi refused to resign, his days are numbered since a new deputy would soon be inaugurated.
Akeredolu also said his earlier statement declaring some indigenes of the state as his enemies for life was a mere political statement, saying that having won the election, he has no reason to keep enemies.
He was accompanied to the Presidential Villa by the state deputy governor-elect, Lucky Ayedatiwa; and the governors of Lagos, Kebbi, Ekiti and Jigawa States.
