Dele Olaosebikan
ONDO STATE government has denied the reported return of Governor Rotimi Akeredolu (SAN) to the state, insisting that the ailing number one citizen was still in Germany.
A statement on Sunday (today) by Richard Olatunde, the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, informed that the governor is currently in Germany and that he is “focused on his full recovery”.
“Governor Akeredolu extends his deep appreciation to the citizens of Ondo State for their unwavering prayers and support. Their genuine concern and compassion have been instrumental in aiding his recovery journey.
“It’s important to note that Governor Akeredolu will return to the state very soon to continue executing his administration’s REDEEMED agenda and providing impactful governance. His commitment to delivering positive and lasting development remains steadfast.
“The video in question, which is circulating, was captured during the Governor’s campaign tour in preparation for the last Presidential and National Assembly elections.
“Governor Akeredolu is eagerly looking forward to reuniting with the people of the sunshine state. He is deeply moved by the outpouring of love and support, and he can’t wait to continue working towards a brighter future for Ondo State”
Eighteen-Eleven Media recall that Governor Akeredolu on 13th June 2023 handed over the affairs of the state to his deputy, Mr Lucky Aiyedatiwa.
The Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Mr Olamide Oladiji, confirmed receipt of a letter for medical leave from Governor Akeredolu.
Oladiji explained that the governor asked for 21-day leave for medical treatment abroad starting from 7th June to 6th July. The governor has since extended the leave period indefinitely.
