FEW weeks after ascending the throne after the demise of his boss, the governor of Ondo State, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has booted out all members of the state cabinet.
This was disclosed in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Ebenezer Adeniyan, on Wednesday.
Those ousted also included all Senior Special Assistants (SSAs) and Special Assistants (SAs), besides the commissioners.
Aiyedatiwa, who thanked the cabinet members for their contributions to the development of the state, said they should “hand over to the Permanent Secretaries or the most senior administrative officers in their respective offices.”
The terse message read thus:
