Less that 24 hours to the deadline given to all political appointees by the Ogun state governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun to resign and face their political ambitions, there seems to be quietness in the cabinet as no resignation letter has been tendered so far.
Recalled that the governor, through his Chief Press Secretary, Kunle Somorin had issued a statement directing all serving political appointees with 2023 political ambitions in the state to resign on or before Jan 31, 2022 to pursue their dreams.
Somorin, in the statement added that the directive had become expedient to avoid observed distractions and loss of focus in the discharge of their responsibilities.
“Whilst noting that it is legitimate to have such ambitions, the Governor, however, said: “As an Administration unwaveringly committed to delivering on its electoral promises, any activity that is capable of undermining the implementation of the Building Our Future Together Agenda of the Administration will not be tolerated”.
“Governor Abiodun counselled that those who cannot wait till the appropriate time for 2023 electioneering process should take their leave to pursue their ambitions without constituting a clog in the wheel of the implementation of government programmes and activities”, the statement concluded.
However, with campaign posters of some political appointees donning the streets, it is therefore not sure if the directive will be met with stiff sanctions if not complied with or will be termed as ‘One of those empty threats’.
