Ondo commissioners not forging my signature – Gov Akeredolu replies popular lawyer

Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu has dismissed claims some commissioners and state officials are forging his signature.

Akeredolu responded to claims by a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, Kayode Ajulo who had alleged in an interview on Arise TV that government officials are forging Akeredolu’s signature on official documents.

According to Ajulo, the absence of Akeredolu due to illness presented an opportunity for cabals to forge his signature to legitimize their actions.

Dismissing Ajulo’s remark, Akeredolu, through his Chief Press Secretary, Richard Olatunde, described the allegation as “utterly preposterous and ludicrous,” while challenging him to present concrete evidence.

A statement by Olatunde accused Ajulo of relying on “fabricated signatures” circulating on social media.

He challenged Ajulo to provide the alleged forged documents or disclose the beneficiary.

According to Olatunde: “We are more than willing to investigate the matter and prosecute anyone found culpable.

“But we cannot entertain baseless speculations and unfounded claims.

“The individuals behind these fabricated signatures are the real culprits engaging in criminal activities.

“The truth of the matter is only Governor Akeredolu can claim that his signature has been forged.”
