Barely a day after terminating the services of his Special Assistants and Senior Special Assistants, Ondo state Governor, Olusegun Mimiko, has sacked several heads of his government boards and parastatals in the State as a frantic attempt to distant himself from corruption.
According to impeccable reports, the officers were sacked late Wednesday evening after meeting with the Governor at a gathering. Sources at the meeting told SaharaReporters that the Chairmen were asked by the Governor to hand over all government properties in their possession to the top officers in their respective offices.
It was also disclosed that the Governor did not state reasons behind his action, particularly in light of the fact that he retained some other Chairmen.A top official source said: “The Governor did not justify why he had to retained other Chairmen, mostly the ones in charge of Ministries which generate revenue for the State.”
Moreover, another source in the Government office in a tele-conversation told correspondent that Mimiko made the move in order to clean up the mess made by these State board Chairmen.
The source said: “Mimiko knows he is near for prosecution after running a corrupt government. He puts the governance of the state in the hands of his in-laws. He can’t escape the long arms of the law. Already the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is trailing his government.”
