Members of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, in Ondo State have criticized Governor Rotimi Akeredolu for staging a destination wedding for his daughter in Mauritius.
According to the Director of Media and Publicity for PDP, Zadok Akintoye, the governor was being insensitive as they accused him of using state fund to sponsor his daughter’s wedding in a foreign land.
“It is on record that this APC-led government remains the most anti-people government in the history of Ondo State and one that has glorified capitalism, nepotism, tribalism and wanton disregard for the welfare of the people.
Within the last two years, the governor has celebrated weddings of his children across the world from Canada to the United States and now Mauritius at the expense of citizens of this state without any sense of respect to the people he leads. How else can one explain the present display of affluence and disdain for the people?” Akintoye said.
Reacting to the criticism from the PDP, the spokesperson of APC in the state, Alex Kalejaiye, said, “The APC in Ondo State has viewed as puerile, myopic, and avoidable, the incoherent argument of the PDP that the recent wedding of a daughter of Mr Governor in Mauritius was an act of “insensitivity.”
