Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State has come out to say that he never ordered security officials to bar his deputy, Agboola Ajayi from leaving the Government House.

He recently revealed that the rumors are false and it is a clear misrepresentation of facts.

According to him, Agboola Ajayi is not a kid, so he has the right to go anywhere he likes.

He added that he actually wishes his deputy well as a man and as a politician.

His words, “Total Misrepresentation of facts. I did not tell the government house security to hold him back at any point. Why would I? Agbo can go anywhere he likes. I wish him well.”
