Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa of Ondo State has dissolved the State Executive Council (EXCO), marking a new chapter in his administration. The decision, effective immediately, was disclosed in a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Prince Ebenezer Adeniyan, in Akure on Wednesday.
The sweeping dissolution affects nearly all members of the cabinet except for two commissioners who were retained due to the critical nature of their roles.
According to the statement, the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Dr. Kayode Ajulo, SAN, and the Commissioner for Finance, Mrs. Omowunmi Isaac, will continue serving in their respective capacities. Their retention underscores the governor’s recognition of the importance of continuity in key legal and financial matters.
“All the affected cabinet members are to hand over all government properties in their care to the accounting officers of their respective ministries,” the statement read, emphasizing a seamless transition process.
Governor Aiyedatiwa expressed his gratitude to the outgoing cabinet members, commending their efforts and contributions during their tenure. He acknowledged their dedication to the development of Ondo State under his leadership and extended his best wishes for their future pursuits.
