The candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the Ondo State governorship election and incumbent governor , Rotimi Akeredolu , on Thursday , said he gave his deputy , Agboola Ajayi , the freedom to operate , but he later betrayed him .
The governor said this on a programme on the Ondo State Radiovision Corporation in Akure , the state capital .
He said , “ Agboola ( Ajayi ) does not want to wait for his time . I made him comfortable; I asked him to represent me at so many places , but some people were warning me; I said they should leave him alone.
“ No deputy governor has collected what he was collecting in the history of the state . I gave him N 13 m monthly ; his predecessors did not collect as much as that . No deputy governor collects as much as that in Nigeria. I gave him enough room to operate , yet he betrayed me. ”
Akeredolu , however , said he was ready to forgive all his detractors , saying as a Christian , he would not begrudge anyone .
Expressing optimism about his chances in the October 10 governorship election , Akeredolu stated , “ We have been doing our best for this state ; all the abandoned projects of the past administration have been completed .
“ We have rehabilitated and constructed over 700 primary schools in this state ; we have improved our education system . We have received a loan to complete the abandoned Owena water project and we will do it . We are also working on five dams ; there are so many things in our plans to do for the state . ”
