Mimiko, Ondo gov, fires aides

Olusegun Mimiko, governor of Ondo state, has relieved all his Special Assistants (SAs) and Senior Special Assistants (SSAs) of their appointments.

Eni Akinsola, the governor’s chief press secretary, announced this on Tuesday but did not give any reason for the action.

In a statement issued by Akinsola, Mimiko thanked the outgoing aides for their selfless service to his administration and the state and solicited their continued support for his administration.

He said the action became necessary in view of the restructuring and repositioning currently being undertaken by government for better service delivery.

“I can only thank you for your services to the government and people of Ondo state who elected us for the delivery of sundry democratic dividends,” the statement read.

“I appreciate your selflessness and dedication and wish you well in your future endeavours.”
