Ondo State Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa has said he would not pay the 273 lawyers appointed as aides by his Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Olukayode Ajulo.

Ajulo had said the appointment of the lawyers was to enhance provision of excellent, independent and ethical legal services to the state, as well as protect the rights of the people.

However, the Chief Press Secretary to Governor Aiyedatiwa, Ebenezer Adeniyan, said the aides would not be paid from the state coffers.

Adeniyan said the appointments did not have the imprimatur of Governor Aiyedatiwa.
