Ondo state government has dismissed allegations that the fifty billion naira bond recently approved by lawmakers is meant to sponsor the 2020 re-election bid of Governor Rotimi Akeredolu.
The commissioner for information and orientation disclosed this during an interaction with journalists in Akure, the state capital.
Donald Ojogo noted that since the governor didn’t take loan or bond to win his election in 2016, he would not take a loan to do any reelection.
He said the interactive session was to carry the public along on policies and programmes of the government through the media.
The media briefing gave the commissioner opportunity to defend some of the programmes of Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu.
Fielding questions from newsmen at the session, the Information Commissioner noted that the N50 billion bond had become imperative to enable the government to pay contractors handling its various capital projects especially roads contractors.
