Like a prodigal son, Ifedayo Abegunde, former secretary to the Ondo state government, has finally made a U-turn barely two months after he resigned from Governor Romiti Akeredolu's cabinet. Abegunde parted ways with Akeredolu as he resigned his appointment as the SSG on Monday morning, July 6, with some weeks to the All Progressives Congress (APC) primary election. The former SSG was later rumoured to have stepped down in order to contest as a deputy governor to one of the governorship aspirants in the state, Segun Abraham.

However, in a sudden turn of event, Abegunde has thrown his weight behind the governor ahead of the Ondo state guber election. The former SSG was sighted at the government house on Sunday, August 30, where he had a brief discussion with the governor. According to reports, two governorship aspirants Chief Olusola Oke and Dr Abraham pleaded with Akeredolu to forgive Abegunde and take him back into the APC fold. "Yes, Abegunde was with the Governor Sunday evening. They have settled their differences. From now on, he will be working with other APC faithful to ensure the victory of the APC and Akeredolu in the forthcoming election,” one of the governor's media aides confirmed the incident.
