Omoyele Sowore, the human rights activist and former presidential candidate, has made it clear that he is not interested in assuming the role of Deputy Governor in Ondo State.
This decision comes amid ongoing deliberations to select a suitable candidate following the assumption of office by Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa after the demise of Rotimi Akeredolu.
The shortlisted candidates for the deputy governorship role include Commissioner for Energy and Mineral Resources, Razaq Obe; Akinwumi Sowore, responsible for Commerce, Industry, and Cooperatives; Chief of Staff Olugbenga Ale; and Olumide Falana, serving as the Special Adviser on Gender.
In response to this development, Sowore’s decision adds an interesting dimension to the considerations, leaving four prominent figures in the running for this crucial position in Ondo State.
Omoyele Sowore wrote;
“I am not being considered for a position of ‘Deputy Governor’ of Ondo State. I do not have any ambition of such and never would.”
