Lucky Aiyedatiwa, Governor of Ondo State, has terminated the appointments of all political aides in his administration with immediate effect.
The announcement, made on Tuesday, impacts all Senior Special Assistants (SSAs) and Special Assistants (SAs) across the state.
In a statement, Aiyedatiwa’s Chief Press Secretary, Ebenezer Adeniyan, explained that the move is aimed at boosting efficiency and improving service delivery within the state’s administrative system.
Adeniyan added that the dismissal precedes a planned expansion of the governor’s political team, which will include the appointment of approximately 1,000 new aides.
The statement read in parts, “In the ongoing drive to enhance efficiency and deepen service delivery, Ondo State Governor, Dr. Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, has relieved all political aides of their duties with immediate effect.
“Those affected are Senior Special Assistants and Special Assistants to the Governor. The Governor thanked them for their contributions to the development of the State thus far and wished them well in their future endeavours.
“Meanwhile, in a step to strengthen coordination and inject fresh capacity into the administration, about 1000 new aides, from across the 203 wards in the 18 local government areas of the State, will be appointed by the Governor in due course.”
Prior to the mass disengagement, the administration faced a series of voluntary resignations from some aides ahead of the 2027 general elections.
