The source added, “SSG (Odu) got wind that her name was not on the list of the committee and during a meeting with the governor, Aiyedatiwa, at the governor’s office, she raised her concerns about it.

“It became a whole lot of argument and charged at the governor for not including her on the list of the committee. But it took the intervention of other cabinet members at the meeting to calm the nerves of the woman. In fact, I’m aware that the meeting did not end peacefully due to the manner Odu behaved.”

“Don’t forget that Odu also has eyes on the seat of the governor and she is ready to contest in the governorship race,” another source added. 

Recall that on the 5th of January 2024, a post on the X handle of the late governor’s spokesperson, Richard Olatunde, disclosed the plane conveying the body arrived at about 3:39 of the day.
