The Ondo SDP, in a statement by its chairman, Stephen Adewale, said while it continued to pray for Akeredolu’s recovery, “the state should not and cannot be left without a constitutional head in an acting capacity while he (Akeredolu) is away attending to his health.”
“The SDP in Ondo State understands Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu’s health condition, for which we have been praying for a speedy recovery. However, the state should not and cannot be left without a constitutional head in an acting capacity while he is away attending to his health.
The party demanded that while he recuperates, the governor should “immediately hand over constitutionally delegate power to the deputy in acting capacity so as to keep the state running effectively. And if he is strong enough to preside over the affairs of the state as his people claimed, then it is well past time for Governor Akeredolu to show up and prove the doubting Thomases wrong.
Meanwhile, the state government, in a statement on Thursday by the Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Mrs Bamidele Ademola-Olateju, debunked a media report suggesting a split in Akeredolu’s cabinet over his absence.
