Aiyedatiwa dismisses impeachment rumour against deputy

Governor of Ondo State, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has dismissed the rumour making the rounds in the state over the alleged plot to impeach his deputy, Dr Olayide Adelami.

While emphasising that Adelami’s loyalty is unquestionable, Aiyedatiwa stated that his deputy has not committed any offence warranting his removal from office.

The governor revealed this during the commissioning of the newly constructed Ayegunle-Iwaro Oka Road as part of activities marking his first-year anniversary in office.

The reaction of Aiyedatiwa was based on the prophecy made by a cleric in Ekiti State, Prophet Olumuyiwa Akogun, who claimed to have seen a vision of a possible impeachment of Aiyedatiwa’s deputy.

The Prophet, who is the General Overseer of God Central Ministry, had stated that if the impeachment scales through, a political crisis will erupt in the state.

Meanwhile, Aiyedatiwa stressed that since assuming office, his administration has embarked on and completed numerous projects that have positively impacted residents across the state.

While reiterating that road construction and rehabilitation remain at the heart of his administration’s development blueprint, Aiyedatiwa noted that the commissioning underscored his government’s resolve to deliver infrastructure that enhances citizens’ well-being.

According to the governor, the commissioning of the road projects is a major milestone in the activities marking his first anniversary, and he thanked God for what he described as a remarkable achievement within a short period.

He stated that the approximately six-kilometre Aiyegunle–Iwaro Oka Road is a multi-million-naira project, designed and executed with quality materials to withstand daily traffic, including heavy-duty vehicles.

He described the corridor as critical to transportation in Akoko, serving as a strategic link for the movement of agricultural produce within and beyond the state.

In Owo, Aiyedatiwa commissioned Opomulero Road, Iselu, and Isuada Road in a triple road commissioning ceremony.

He said the rehabilitation and construction of the roads symbolised the rekindling of hope, restoration of dignity, and steady progress across the state, noting that years of dilapidation had imposed hardship and constrained productivity.

According to him, the projects span 3.5 kilometres along the axis, including the construction and rehabilitation of Falodun Road, Kajola Road, and Iselu–Isuada Road, thereby enhancing connectivity, stimulating commerce, reducing travel time, and improving access within Owo town.
