Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo state sacked three commissioners during the state executive council meeting on Monday.
The commissioners are Solagbade Amodeni (physical planning and urban development), Taofiq Abdusalam (works and infrastructures) and Ismaila Olurimisi (culture).
Segun Ajiboye, chief press secretary to the governor, said the sacked commissioners were directed to handover all government’s property in their possession to the permanent secretaries of their respective ministries.
“The Governor thanks the three of them for service to the good people of Ondo State and wish them well in their future endeavours,” Ajiboye said in a statement.

“The governor has therefore nominated the following for the position of commissioners Yetunde Adeyanju, Titilayo Adeyemi, Temitayo Oluwatuyi, Fatai Olotu and Akindotun Olubunmi Owanikin
“The names of the nominees will be forwarded to the state house of assembly for confirmation.”
The governor also named Babatunde Kolawole and Oyebo Aladetan as special advisers.
However, there are indications that the sack may not be unconnected to the current crisis rocking the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State.
Herald Nigeria had reported that some members of Akeredolu’s cabinet are working to ensure the governor, who is believed to have become unpopular, doesn’t secure a second term ticket of the APC.
