I didn’t ask to be Ondo Deputy Governor — Adelami

Ondo Deputy Governor nominee,  Ondo deputy, Dr. Olayide Adelami, said  he was not thinking of  the position before Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa called upon him to serve.

Adelami  said  his nomination by Aiyedatiwa was not expected  as he only had his eyes on the federal appointment he was pursuing.

He said: “I never contested for deputy governor; I was looking for a federal appointment when I was called to be a deputy. I do not take this opportunity for granted.

“Divine providence made this happen. I will serve the people of Ondo State to the best of my ability.”

The deputy governor  designate who will be sworn in next week, said he would work with the governor to move the state forward.
