Ondo State governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, has lamented over his embattled deputy governor, Agboola Ajayi betrayed him despite he received thirteen million Naira (N13m) monthly to make him comfortable in the office.
The governor expressed disappointment with the attitude of Ajayi describing him as a betrayal.
He said despite giving him a wide room to operate freely, his deputy stabbed him at the back.
The Governor stated this while featuring on a radio programme of the Ondo State Radiovision Corporation, in Akure, the state capital.
The Governor added that he gave his Deputy free hand to operate by ensuring that he was well paid to make him comfortable in office.
According to him, he put all these in place for Ajayi despite all warnings from different quarters that he should not entrust Ajayi with power.
He said, “Agboola (Ajayi) does not want to wait for his time. I made him comfortable, I asked him to represent me in 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 N13million 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 as a Christian, he was ready to forgive all his detractors, saying he would not begrudge anyone.
