Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State has denied plotting to kill a former Ondo Commissioner for Special Duties, Culture and Tourism, Asiwaju Olufemi Adekanmbi.

His Senior Media Assistant, Mr. Ojo Oyewamide, said;
“Akeredolu has no place for hate and wickedness in his heart. Governor Akeredolu has been too busy with the process of developing the state to think of doing harm to anybody.”

“But for the deceptive and diversionary reason, mischief, as well as the motive behind the person in question, we would not have bothered granting any element of seriousness to an unstable character as such.”

“We will not dwell into whatever purile issues he has raised. A man with clean hands does not require extraneous things to seek attention.”

“If it is attention he desires, this should be enough for people of his ilk. Adekanmbi requires no more of response than the fact that the world should ignore him”.

For those who don’t know, the former Commissioner said;

“Plans have been perfected to rope me at all cost by dropping a dead body in my house at Owo and thereafter hold me responsible for the killing. Plans have also been perfected to plant incriminating objects like gun in my house to rope me as a gun-runner.”

“To make the matter worse, I have it on good authority that plans have been perfected to assassinate me by giving N10million to one of the boys close to me to shoot me at a very close range and make the killing look like accidental discharge to ultimately free my assailant.”

“The reason behind all these is because of the forthcoming governorship election in which they believe some powerful forces are behind my aspiration.”

“I wish to use this opportunity to call on you to save my soul by letting the world know through your media that my life is no longer safe and I call on you and the whole world to note that Governor Akeredolu and his Attorney General Mr. Kola Olawuyi should be held responsible if anything untoward should happen to me”.
