The brewing rift between Governor Rotimi Akeredolu and his deputy, Lucky Aiyeditiwa, appeared to have blown over as the media team of the deputy governor has been disbanded.

All the members of the media team have been directed to report to their various ministries and stations.

A statement by his spokesman, Richard Olatunde, said those sacked are with immediate effect.

He directed the appointees to submit all government properties in their possession to the Acting Permanent Secretary, Office of the Deputy Governor.

The affected aides include Press Secretary to the Governor, Kenneth Odusola; Special Assistant to Governor (New Media) Okunniga Oladipupo; and Special Assistant to the Governor (Photography) Abayomi Samson Adefolalu.
