The Ondo Redemption Front wish to express our deep concern and disappointment over the continued delay by Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa of Ondo State, in appointing a deputy governor, 21 days after assuming office as the Executive Governor of Ondo State, following the untimely demise of former Governor Rotimi Akeredolu.
The absence of a deputy governor in Ondo State is not only a dereliction of duty but a direct violation of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
The Constitution explicitly mandates the presence of a governor and a deputy governor for each state in the federation to ensure the smooth functioning of the government.
This delay raises serious questions about the commitment of Governor Aiyedatiwa to uphold the constitutional principles that govern our democratic system.
The Ondo Redemption Front insists that this oversight hampers effective governance, leaving the state vulnerable to potential challenges that may arise in the absence of a fully constituted leadership.
The Ondo Redemption Front calls on Governor Aiyedatiwa to act swiftly in fulfilling this constitutional obligation by appointing a deputy governor without further delay. The people of Ondo State deserve a government that operates within the confines of the law and is dedicated to their welfare.
We implore all relevant stakeholders, including the judiciary and the House of Assembly, to closely monitor and address this constitutional lapse, ensuring that the democratic principles enshrined in our Constitution are upheld for the collective well-being of the people of Ondo State.
The Ondo Redemption Front remains committed to advocating for good governance, adherence to the rule of law, and the protection of democratic values in Ondo State and beyond.
Long live the Sunshine State.
Yours Sincerely,
Comrade Ologun Ayodeji
Chairman, ORF
