Governor Akeredolu has been on an extended vacation and this is widely assumed in the state to be connected to his state of health.
As uncertainty surrounds the state of health of the Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, the Social Democratic Party has urged him to hand over to the deputy governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa.
The Commissioner for Information, Bamidele Ademola-Olateju, in a statement earlier in the week, said the governor was in a good state of health. There has also been a seeming smear campaign against the deputy governor with reports suddenly appearing that he is in the habit of beating his wife.The SDP in a statement on Thursday, said the deputy governor should be allowed to take over in an acting capacity while Mr Akeredolu attends to his health.
“The only state that was conspicuously missing in terms of representation at the two meetings is our dear Ondo State. “A prolonged uncertainty over the administration of Ondo State will cost the state untoward setback. There is no doubt about this. And that is why silence is dangerous now. Ondo State is in a rare moment in time when only genuine, exhaustive, and wide-ranging conversations can save the impending storm. This is the time to start the constitutional conversations.
