The Nation Newspaper Akeredolu can govern Ondo from anywhere, say lawyers
Some constitutional lawyers on Wednesday, October, October 18, argued that Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu has the constitutional backing to govern Ondo state from anywhere in the worldA human rights lawyer, Morakinyo Ogele, who spoke in Akure, said the debates surrounding the governor’s whereabouts were unnecessary, saying the Nigeria constitution does not mandate a governor to reside in the state they were elected to govern.
“The moment he arrived, he signed the LCDAs bill into law, and the salary of workers is going on smoothly. It is one thing not to perform his constitutional roles; it is another thing that he is performing. If he cannot perform as governor, that is where the constitution comes in. “As far as I’m concerned, Akeredolu has exposed this state to development. When you see all the roads constructed by his administration you will commend him for a job well done. As we speak, construction of the first flyover in the state capital is ongoing. Don’t forget he constructed one in Ore during his first term. This is unprecedented in the state.”
He said, “Nobody has seen him. He has not come out to say he is alive. He can govern from anywhere but he must come out for the people to see him.”
