The Acting Governor of Ondo State, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, is set to be sworn in as the governor of the state today in Akure, the state capital.It was gathered that Aiyedatiwa will be sworn in by the Chief Judge of the state inside the Cocoa Conference Hall in Akure by 4 pm.
A top government source told the news platform that: “Ondo State will be swearing in Lucky Aiyedatiwa as governor in Akure today. The swearing-in is slated to be held at the Cocoa Conference Hall in Akure. However, no time has been fixed yet for the event.”
The ailing governor returned to Nigeria in September following a three-month medical leave in Germany and refused to travel to Akure, the Ondo State capital to resume office.
Instead, Akeredolu stayed in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital and tried to govern his state from there, leading to public outrage and calls for him to resign from office over his incapacity to resume work as governor.
Aiyedatiwa has been standing in as the acting Governor and peace has since returned to the South Weet state following President Tinubu’s intervention in the political impasse.
