Less than one week after the Ondo State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr Eyitayo Jegede, SAN, resigned from the cabinet of Governor Olusegun Mimiko to join the gubernatorial race, the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Prince Bamiduro Dada on Tuesday resigned for the same purpose.
The resignation of Dada makes it three the number of commissioners that have resigned from the cabinet of Mimiko to contest for the gubernatorial ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that would be decided on August 22.
Prior to the resignation of Jegede, the Commissioner for Environment, Chief Sola Ebiseni had quit Mimiko’s cabinet.
In his letter, Dada thanked the governor for the opportunity to serve the people of the state
in various capacities in the past seven years, including serving as Special Adviser on Political Matters and later as Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Matters.
“It is noteworthy that God has really used you to enable me put my God-given virtues into the discharge of my duties at the Due-Process Department, Political Matters and eventually as a commissioner.
“Words are not enough to express how grateful I am for the role you have played in my life. It is my prayers that it shall be well with you and your household now and forever.”, Dada said.
