The Ondo State Government on Sunday, November 14, 2021, said it has uncovered a grand conspiracy to blackmail Gov. Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, his immediate family and the state government.
This was contained in a statement by Donald Ojogo, the Commissioner for information and Orientation.
Ojogo said the planned smear campaign was targeted at the Governor’s family with force details and spurious allegations.
He said, “It has come to our notice that some unscrupulous individuals have perfected plans to blackmail the Akeredolu administration, using the first family as a target of their smear campaign.
“The plan, which was hatched and orchestrated by these individuals, particularly, targeted the Governor’s son, Babajide Akeredolu, on allegations of high handedness and interference with serious government decisions, especially as it relates to the economic activities at the government reserves.
