PDP calls Akeredolu “senseless”, faults vote of confidence pass on him

By Hannah Nathan, Warri

The Ondo State Executive Council has come under fire from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the action it took on Thursday, when a vote of confidence was passed on the governor, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu.

The main opposition party said the executives had made fun of the state while calling the 33 cabinet members’ action absurd and senseless.

Kennedy Peretei, the Publicity Secretary for PDP, stated in a statement that the cabinet members ought to be more cognizant of their duties, especially in light of the state’s impending implosion as a result of the governor’s absence.

As stated by Peretei, “Attuned observers of Ondo State politics might have been perplexed as to how the state wound up in this sorry situation.

“Where the state’s ship is just drifting aimlessly on the high seas, without a captain or direction, and soon to collide with a perilous cliff.”

Claiming that the supposed communiqué was “senseless” and “of no effect,” two State Commissioners mocked it, seemingly destroying what little remained of the Akeredolu administration.

“In Ondo State, things have never been this bad. Who cast a ballot in favor of Babajide or Betty, his mother, who have both had absolute control over the state?

“It is evident that the days of this are numbered now that the State Executive Committee has chosen to appear and dance in the marketplace naked.

“It is disheartening to witness the PDP consistently disparage the achievements of Governor Akeredolu and his government, with their attacks being hopelessly wide of the mark,” the APC said in a statement released by its Director of Media Publicity, Steve Otaloro.

“This is just another instance of the PDP’s unfounded criticism directed towards the State Executive Council’s resolution concerning Governor Akeredolu’s administration.

The governor was praised by the resolution for his unwavering integrity, devotion to good governance, and model leadership, all of which have encouraged and motivated the council members to carry out their responsibilities to the state.
