Allegation of certificate forgery ploy for distraction, blackmail – Ondo gov

Governor of Ondo State, Lucky Aiyedatiwa

The Ondo State governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa has vowed not to be distracted by the “shenanigans of shameless politicians and their cronies” who are out to blackmail him ahead of the 2024 governorship election in the state.

Aiyedatiwa’s reaction came after a group, the Ondo State Redemption Initiative (OSRI) in a statement signed by its President, Adebayo Ogunsanmi and Secretary, Jide Oriola, in Akure, accused the governor of certificate forgery.

But the governor, in a statement on Monday signed by his spokesman, Ebenezer Adeniyan, said he was already aware of the mischievous plans by some political actors in the state to embark on fresh unsubstantiated allegations against him.

He said that “The desperate elements after failing woefully with their attempts to paint” him in bad light with the stories around the death of his former principal, late Governor Rotimi Akeredolu, have resorted to blackmail.
