Lucky Aiyedatiwa, governor of Ondo state, has dissolved the state executive council.

The governor,  however, exempted Kayode Ajulo,  the state’s attorney-general, and Omowunmi Isaac, the commissioner for finance, “due to the critical nature of their duties”.

A statement on Wednesday by Ebenezer Adeniyan, chief press secretary to the governor, said the cabinet dissolution takes immediate effect.

“The governor of Ondo state, Hon Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, has approved the dissolution of the State Executive Council, with immediate effect,” the statement reads.

“However, the governor has exempted two members of the cabinet from the dissolution, due to the critical nature of their duties. They are the attorney general and commissioner for justice, Dr Kayode Ajulo, SAN and the commissioner for finance, Mrs. Omowunmi Isaac. 

“All the affected cabinet members are to hand over all government properties in their care to the accounting officers of their respective ministries.

“Governor Aiyedatiwa thanked the EXCO members for their service and contributions to the development of Ondo State under his administration and wished them well in their future endeavours.”
