Ondo PDP Berates Akeredolu Over Appointment of Son

Ondo State chapter of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, has accused the State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, of signing an Executive Order to provide a legal cover for the appointment of his son, Babajide Akeredolu, as Director-General of Performance and Project Implementation Monitoring Unit, PPIMU.

A statement issued by the State Publicity Secretary of the Party, Kennedy Peretei, stated that the Executive Order amongst other provisions stated that all Ministries, Departments, and Agencies of the State should process approvals for projects through the Impact Assurance Process of PPIMU.

The statement noted that the Governor resorted to an Executive Order to legitimize illegality because there was no legal framework for the appointment of a DG for PPIMU.

Recall, that Babajide was recently appointed as the Director-General of the PPIMU, an agency, newly created by the governor.
