Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, has distanced himself from a video making the rounds wherein his sobriquet, Aketi, and the state’s official emblem are inscribed on a bottled whiskey.

The governor, who is having a running battle with his deputy, Ajayi Agboola, claimed that there was a plan to discredit and smear his image ahead of the October 10 governorship poll.

Reacting to the video in a statement on Saturday by his Senior Special Assistant on Media, Ojo Oyewamide, Akeredolu said he did not approve the production of customized drinks for his re-election.

The governor maintained that no associate, friend or aide was asked to do such.

Oyewamide, said Akeredolu’s lifestyle was modest and frugal.

He said investigation had commenced to uncover those behind the scheme.

It said those behind the “grand plot are desperate power mongers who will stop at nothing to create despicable and imaginary scenarios to play their game”.

The spokesman noted that the motive “is to create the impression that so much State money has been spent to produce the whiskey”.

He added that many more are expected “from these political scavengers on an impossible mission”.

“Mr. Governor, having been briefed of this devious act, has taken steps to unravel those behind it through lawful means”, Oyewamide said.
