Sources at the meeting told SaharaReporters that the Chairmen were asked by the Governor to hand over all government properties in their possession to the top officers in their respective offices.
The controversial Governor of Ondo State, Olusegun Mimiko, has sacked several heads of his government boards and parastatals in the State, SaharaReporters can authoritatively report.
It was gathered that the officers were sacked after meeting with the Governor at a gathering late Wednesday evening.
Sources at the meeting told SaharaReporters that the Chairmen were asked by the Governor to hand over all government properties in their possession to the top officers in their respective offices.
The source also said the Governor did not explain the main reasons behind his action, particularly in light of the fact that he retained some other Chairmen.
"The Governor did not justify why he had to retained other Chairmen, mostly the ones in charge of Ministries which generate revenue for the State,” the source said.
This was coming barely one day the Governor terminated the services of his Special Assistants and Senior Special Assistants.
But, a competent source in the Government office told SaharaReporters during a phone call that Governor Mimiko made the move in order to clean up the mess made by these State board Chairmen.
The source added that Governor Mimiko is already in fear and has been making franticly preparing to face corruption allegations in his government.
"Mimiko knows he is near for prosecution after running a corrupt government. He puts the governance of the state in the hands of his in-laws,” this source added.
"He can't escape the long arms of the law. Already the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is trailing his government,” he also said.
