Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State on Friday March 27 dismissed his Special Assistant on Digital Media, Mr. Muritala Olajide Adigun after he claimed Lagos State COVID-19 Project as his (Makinde).
It was gathered that, Adigun uploaded the disinfecting machines Governor Sanwo-Olu purchased for fumigation of public places in Lagos as an Oyo State Government project.
Adigun's dismissal letter was made public and signed by the Secretary to the State Government, Olubamiwo Adeosun.
The letter states;
“I wish to convey the approval of His Excellency, Governor Seyi Makinde, on the termination of your appointment as Special Assistant (Digital Media), with immediate effect”.
However, the dismissed has blamed members of APC (the opposition party in Oyo State) to be responsible for the act.
Adigun wrote;
“APC agent of darkness that hacked my Facebook account to disseminate this false information about the Oyo State Government yesterday won’t escape the hand of the law.
“You called for it and you’ve gotten it… Thanks to everybody that contributed to my downfall.”
It would be recalled that, the Nigeria Center for Disease Control NCDC announced that, Oyo state recorded 2 new cases yesterday making the total number of cases in the state 3.
