The former Deputy Governor said Governor Akeredolu should be “prepared not to take any government vehicle at the end of his tenure if he (Agboola) is made to return the two vehicles.

“The former Deputy Governor has joined senior citizens in this state. On February 23rd when his tenure ended, civil servants came and collect all government vehicles. This was with the exception of a Land Cruiser and Hilux jeep which are part of his statutory benefit.

“He is to go home with those two vehicles. He is not holding onto any government vehicles. All other former Deputy Governors in this state are using government vehicles.

Agboola said “Let the police invite him. He will explain himself. He is not afraid. One of the other two vehicles had an accident. Furthermore, It is at Okitipupa while the dealer is yet to deliver the second one.”
