A Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Mr Kayode Ajulo, has alleged that the indisposed Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu’s signature is being forged by some top government officials in the state.

Ajulo made this claim on Monday while appearing on Arise TV “Breakfast Show.”

He noted that some of the recent memos signed by the governor compared to when he was hail and hearty had “notable disparities in them.”

According to him, these are strong indications that that governance has been hijacked in Ondo State.

He said:“I have it on good authority as a lawyer. Some of the commissioners, about five of them, sent memos to the governor, and they all returned with approvals.

“Going through the approvals compared to what the governor had approved when he was hail and hearty, there are notable disparities in them.

“The Police and Administration of Justice Act has made it clear that there could be some private investigators who have been contacted because of the issue, and their results are so damning.

“In fact, EFCC needs to visit Ondo State to ask some questions. The purported signature is not from the governor. It is so apparent.”
