Ailing Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State will on Wednesday embark on another medial vacation as a follow-up on his medical treatment abroad.
Chief Press Secretary to Akeredolu, Mr Richard Olatunde said the governor had sent ” a formal letter regarding the medical leave and a notice formally transferring power in line with the Nigerian Constitution will be transmitted to the House of Assembly.”
“In the absence of Governor Akeredolu, the Deputy Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, will assume the responsibility of the governor in acting capacity. Governor Akeredolu expresses his gratitude for the unwavering support and affection of the people on Ondo State. He assures them that his administration remains committed to the path of progress and prosperity for the people.”
Akeredolu had earlier proceeded on medical leave for three months during which conflict with his deputy and cabinet supporters of either of them ensued until President Bola Tinubu intervened and restored some order in the governance of the state amid protest for an against governance deficit among the people.
