Ondo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party on Monday asked Governor Olusegun Mimiko to constitute his cabinet so that the council could be deliberating on issues that could move the state forward.<\/p>\n

The PDP, in a statement in Akure by its Director of Publicity, Mr. Ayo Fadaka, also alleged that the state was broke, hence it could not meet its obligation to the workforce, especially primary school teachers who were being owed salaries.<\/p>\n

Fadaka said, \u201cWe have taken due notice of the fact that Governor Olusegun Mimiko, since his inauguration, is not making any attempt to constitute the State Executive Council as mandated by the constitution and has thus most unconstitutionally turned himself into a sole administrator.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe effect of this action is that it is only the Governor now that can take decisions on the award of multibillion naira project that the council is expected to adjudicate upon.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis inability to constitute the council is premised on the fact that our state is broke and the required funds to run the state is even not there.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is absolutely impossible for this administration to pay the severance allowance of the immediate ex-commissioners and other aides of Mr Governor for this same reason.\u201d<\/p>\n

But the Secretary to the State Government, Dr. Aderotimi Adelola, described the PDP\u2019s statement as wicked and a deliberate act\u00a0 to misinform the public about the good tidings in the state.<\/p>\n

The SSG, in a statement, said, \u201cThe opposition party is merely suffering from ignorance in rudiments of governance and they are just blabbing to keep themselves busy and give the people the impression that they still exist\u201d<\/p>\n

Adelola also described\u00a0 the opposition\u2019s campaign of calumny as an agenda from the pit of hell by desperate politicians.<\/p>\n

He described the PDP statement that the state could not pay workers salaries as \u201cattention seeking, wicked propaganda and lack of initiative to remain\u00a0 visible\u201d<\/p>\n

He challenged\u00a0 the PDP to come up publicly with the identities of the workers being owed salaries as alleged by the state.<\/p>\n
