Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

In a rather eyebrow-raising move, amidst the uproar surrounding the potential impeachment of Deputy Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, in an unexpected turn, decided to transmit power to his deputy. The Speaker of the Ondo State House of Assembly, Olamide Oladiji, confirmed the reception of the governor’s letter, initiating the transfer of authority to Aiyedatiwa, who will now step in as acting governor.

Past Turmoil and Political Intrigue

Akeredolu’s previous medical leave saw the state cabinet divided and embroiled in conflict. Loyalties were divided between factions supporting Akeredolu and those siding with Aiyedatiwa. Shockingly, rumors surfaced about some cabinet members expressing unsavory wishes regarding Akeredolu’s health. This murky episode seems to have prompted Akeredolu’s swift return, fearing a power struggle might jeopardize his position, even though his health remains a concern. It’s a stark reminder of the cutthroat nature of politics, where individuals are seemingly willing to go to extreme lengths to cling to power.

Constitutional Procedures and Anticipated Developments

The Speaker emphasized the adherence to constitutional processes in authorizing the transfer of power, stating that he would instruct the House Clerk to convey his approval to the Secretary to the State Government. Furthermore, discussions with influential figures like President Bola Tinubu have reportedly endorsed the governor’s letter. However, no immediate discussions or sittings are planned on the matter, as the Speaker intends to issue a press statement after completing the power transfer process to the deputy governor.

Official Statement: Governor Akeredolu’s Medical Leave

Governor’s Health Concerns Prompt Temporary Handover

Governor Oluwarotimi Odunayo Akeredolu, following medical advice for further treatment after his recovery, has officially notified the Ondo State House of Assembly regarding his need for medical leave.

Deputy Governor Assumes Duties
Deputy Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa is set to assume the responsibilities of the governor in an acting capacity until Governor Akeredolu makes a written declaration indicating his return. The medical leave is scheduled to commence on December 13th, 2023.

The Speaker of the Ondo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Olamide Oladiji, conveyed gratitude for the governor’s speedy recovery and expressed optimism about his prompt return to office.

Amidst hopes for Akeredolu’s quick recovery, concerns linger about the stability of the government during his absence. The move, while seemingly preemptive to safeguard his position, raises questions about the state’s governance in the interim. As the holiday season approaches, all eyes are on the unfolding political saga in Ondo State.
