Group Counters Enikuomehin, Affirms Ayedatiwa’s Steady Performance In Ondo
The Ondo Good Governance Alliance (OGGA) has dismissed recent remarks by a lawyer, Mr. Benson Enikuomehin, who claimed Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa has shown “very low performance” since assuming office.
In a statement signed by its Chairman, Samuel Adegbite, OGGA described the comment as a deliberate attempt to mislead the public and discredit the governor.
“Mr. Enikuomehin is known for clout chasing at low points in his political career, often seeking attention from any sitting government. His temperament has consistently made him unfit for leadership, and he resorts to raising unnecessary dust for cheap attention”.
OGGA maintained that Governor Aiyedatiwa, sworn in as substantive governor in February 2025, has within a few months demonstrated purposeful leadership and recorded tangible progress across key sectors.
