The acting governor of Ondo State, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has frozen the accounts of the 18 Local Government Areas and 33 Local Council Development Areas.
It was gathered that Aiyedatiwa, who became the acting governor of Ondo State after Governor Rotimi Akeredolu proceeded on medical treatment abroad, told the newly created LCDAs not to open new accounts.
A letter to the local councils read: “Distinguished HOLGAs, Your Excellency the Acting Governor of Ondo State had directed that all spending/ expenditure from local government account should be suspended. No signing of cheques, no change of signatories, no withdrawal of any sort until further directive.
