Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The former Chief Press Secretary to late ex-Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, Richard Olatunde on Wednesday cautioned Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa against leveraging the late governor\u2019s name for political advantage.<\/p>\n

Olatunde emphasised that both Akeredolu\u2019s family and his loyal supporters across the state have strongly opposed Aiyedatiwa\u2019s alleged deceptive strategies aimed at gaining a political edge within the party.<\/p>\n

Aiyedatiwa had during his official declaration to run for governor, stated that his late boss had given him his blessing and expressed a desire for him to succeed in office.<\/p>\n

According to Olatunde, there existed a strained relationship between Akeredolu and Aiyedatiwa up until the former\u2019s passing.<\/p>\n

He added that the late former governor was taken aback by what he perceived as a betrayal by Aiyedatiwa, leaving a sour note in their relationship.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile we acknowledge that the political atmosphere in the state is intensifying, we want to unequivocally state that the late Governor did not anoint or express a desire for Aiyedatiwa to succeed him.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn the contrary, the relationship between the late governor and Governor Aiyedatiwa became strained and distant until his passing.<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite attending to official matters and meeting people from Akure, the late Governor intentionally kept Mr Aiyedatiwa, who was the Deputy governor at the time, away from him in Ibadan.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur late Governor was deeply disappointed and regretful of certain behaviours and character traits displayed by Aiyedatiwa during his health challenges, which ultimately led to his passing.\u201d<\/p>\n
