Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has officially named Olayide Owolabi Adelami, for the position of Deputy Governor.
The nomination of Adelami as Ondo State Deputy Governor comes barely six hours after Governor Aiyedatiwa dissolved the State Executive Council (SEC) on Wednesday.
Adelami, who is a former Deputy Clerk to the National Assembly (DCNA), hails from Owo.
His nomination as Deputy Governor is subject to approval by the Ondo State House of Assembly.
In a statement issued by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr Ebenezer Adeniyan, the name of the new Deputy Governor has been transmitted to the State House of Assembly.
“His nomination will be announced by the House of Assembly later today,” the statement reads.
