Ondo Governor Dismisses Certificate Forgery Allegations as Political Distraction

• Ondo State Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa strongly denies certificate forgery allegations, labeling them as distraction and blackmail orchestrated by political opponents
• Aiyedatiwa remains committed to his responsibilities, dismissing the unsubstantiated allegations and emphasizing the need for transparent political discourse

Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has vehemently dismissed allegations of certificate forgery against him, denouncing them as a ploy for distraction and blackmail orchestrated by shameless politicians and their associates ahead of the 2024 governorship election.

The accusations surfaced in a statement from the Ondo State Redemption Initiative (OSRI), signed by its President, Adebayo Ogunsanmi, and Secretary, Jide Oriola, based in Akure.

Responding to these claims, Governor Aiyedatiwa issued a statement on Monday through his spokesman, Ebenezer Adeniyan. He asserted his awareness of the mischievous plans by certain political figures in the state to launch fresh, unsubstantiated allegations against him.

In the statement, Aiyedatiwa expressed that these elements, having failed in previous attempts to tarnish his image, particularly surrounding the death of his former principal, late Governor Rotimi Akeredolu, have resorted to blackmail.

Undeterred by the alleged smear campaign, the governor declared his commitment to focusing on his responsibilities and not succumbing to the distractions orchestrated by those with ulterior motives.

As the political landscape heats up in anticipation of the upcoming elections, Aiyedatiwa remains steadfast, emphasizing that the people of Ondo State deserve a transparent and issue-based political discourse rather than baseless distractions.
