PDP tackles Akeredolu over appointment of son as PPMIU’s DG

The Peoples Democratic Party in Ondo State has condemned the
recent appointment of Babajide Akeredolu, the biological son of Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, SAN as the Director General of Performance and Project Implementation Monitoring Unit (PPMIU).

The party described the appointment as a flagrant abuse of office and affront on the people of Ondo State.

The PDP said such an appointment is a grand design to finally empty the treasury of the State.

According to a statement signed by PDP’s Publicity Secretary, Kennedy Ikantu Peretei, this development protends great danger for the state.

Governor Akeredolu had on Tuesday announced appointment of Babajide Akeredolu as the Director General of Performance and Project Implementation Monitoring Unit (PPMIU).

The Governor also announced the names of 14 commissioner nommiees and seven special advisers.

The PDP statement added, “The name Babajide Akeredolu became known in Ondo state when the State’s funds were used to procure a marriage for him in Colorado, USA, after the same marriage was consummated in Owo, his father’s birthplace. He has since assumed authority as part of the triad of the reign of father, wife and son.

“The appointment as DG of PPMIU for Babajide, a young man who carries on as though, he was the person voted for as Governor is part of the grand design to finally empty the treasury of the State before Akeredolu returns to Ibadan.”
