A former Chairman of Irele Local Government Area in Ondo State, Hon. Nicholas Akinbiola, has rejected the appointment of Special Assistant offered to him by Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa.
Thefrontrank reports that Akinbiola is currently a Senior Special Assistant to the Deputy Senate President, Office of the Senate President.
The governor in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Ebenezer Adeniyan, on Friday had listed Akinbiola as one of the newly appointed 344 Special Assistants.
Akinbiola, while declining the appointment in a letter addressed to the governor on Saturday and personally signed, promised his loyalty and commitment to the success of the All Progressives Congress at all levels.
The letter read:
“Your Excellency,
