Certificate forgery claims against Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa are false and sponsored by political enemies to discredit the governor ahead of the November 16, 2024 governorship poll in Ondo State.
The Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Ebenezer Adeniyan, made this known in a statement on Monday.
The aide said “desperate elements” having failed to get Aiyedatiwa impeached have resorted to blackmail.
“A governorship aspirant last night held a meeting with some individuals at a popular hotel in Akure where he gave the directive to those present to write stories alleging that the Governor used forged certificates to contest election,” Adeniyan said.
“It is important to alert members of the public to this plot which is aimed at discrediting Mr. Governor ahead of the coming governorship election in the State.
“Mr. Governor contested in a joint ticket with his former principal in the 2020 governorship election and his credentials were duly submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and those are in public domain.”
