The Ondo state governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu has accused his predecessor of leaving a N220 billion debt .
Akeredolu said Olusegun Mimiko left only N20 billion in the state's coffers.
He also advised the people of Ondo to desist from activities that would drive the state into economic crisis Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State says his administration inherited a debt burden of N220.58 billion at its inception.
Akeredolu made this known in Akure on Wednesday, August 30, while swearing-in commissioners and special advisers.
He advised the people of the state to refrain from acts that could further push the state into deep economic crisis.
But his claim about the debt legacy was promptly attacked by a former commissioner for Information during the Mimiko administration, Kayode Akinmade, who said that Mimiko left N20 billion in the kitty of the state government.
Akinmade skirted the issue of debt and also did not explain why Mimiko failed to match the N38.64 billion left in the kitty of the state government by his predecessor, Governor Olusegun Agagu.
