The Deputy governor of Ondo, Mr Agboola Ajayi has alleged that governor Rotimi Akeredolu receives monthly security vote of N750 million and imprest of N150 million.
Ajayi was reacting to Akeredolu’s claim that the deputy governor receives N13 million monthly running grant.
The deputy governor in a statement by his media aide, Mr Allen Sowore, the deputy governor, who is the governorship candidate of Zenith Labour Party (ZLP), also claimed he earns N12 million and not N13 million as claimed by Akeredolu.
According to him, the monthly N12 million includes the imprest of Deputy Governor’s office, allowances of staff, fuelling of vehicles, care of his residence and welfare of his aides.
“Huge as the amount may appear, it amounts to not so much when the heads and number of individuals it caters for are considered.
“The governor gets a security vote of N750million naira every month. He, Akeredolu, also gets an imprest of about N150 million,” the statement reads.
