Ondo State Commissioner for Energy and Mineral Resources, Razaq Obe, has alleged forgery of Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu’s signature on official documents about his ministry.
In a letter sent to the state Deputy Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, Obe said the irregularities in the signature of the governor were first observed when a file from my ministry was returned through the office of the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Oladuni Odu.
The commissioner noted that the file was the only one that has been returned so far out of the five files that were sent for the Governor’s approval about two months ago.
He said, “Upon closer inspection, I noticed significant differences between the suspicious signature and handwriting and Mr. Governor’s known signatures and handwriting in the file”.
He added that based on concerns about the gravity of the situation, he decided to seek a forensic review before disclosing his discovery.
The letter read: ”I write to bring to your attention a critical matter that requires immediate action. It has been confirmed that the signature of Mr. Governor on a certain document has been forged.
He urged the government to treat the matter with the urgency it deserves and take appropriate actions to address the situation.
