Secretary to the Ondo State Government, Mr. Ifedayo Abegunde has resigned from the Governor Rotimi Akeredolu-led administration.

Igbere TV reliably gathered that the SSG tendered his resignation Monday morning, and has transmitted his resignation letter to the governor.

In a letter exclusively obtained by Igbere TV, Mr. Abegunde thanked Governor Akeredolu for the opportunity to serve, while wishing him quick recovery from COVID-19 sickness.

When Igbere TV contacted Mr. Abegunde on reasons for his resignation, barely a week after denying a similar rumour, he simply said it was personal to him.

“It is personal...”, the former federal lawmaker said, refusing to comment further.
He, however, said he remains a member of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

But a close source to the now-resigned SSG’s office said the resignation may not be unconnected with the Ondo state 2020 politics.

“All is not well in Ondo, politically, forget the denials. All is not well with the APC in Ondo,” the source lamented.

Asked if the SSG has decamped to an opposition party yet, the source claimed Abegunde is likely to decamp to the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

“He claimed he is still in the APC, just like the deputy, only for us to see him in the other party (PDP) hours later.”

”We know his (Abegunde) soul is already in the other party (apparently referring to the PDP) and won't be surprised if he finally makes move,” added the source.

Mr. Abegunde’s resignation as Ondo SSG is coming days after the embattled deputy governor, Agboola Ajayi, dumped the APC for PDP.

The deputy governor, who has been at loggerheads with governor Akeredolu, is scheming to succeed his boss on the PDP platform in the Ondo 2020 governorship election.

Igbere TV reports that Governor Akeredolu remains in the APC and currently seeking reelection. The party primaries comes up in July this month.
