In response to the ongoing political crisis in Ondo State, the lawmakers are set to convene for a plenary session on Friday, November 24. There are indications that during this session, discussions will focus on the executive arm of the government, with a possible declaration of Governor Rotimi Akeredolu’s deputy, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, as the acting governor.
The move is reportedly influenced by Governor Akeredolu’s prolonged absence due to health reasons. Akeredolu, still recuperating at his private residence in Ibadan, Oyo state, has been unable to resume office.
Despite potential disagreements among lawmakers, some of whom may be absent due to their stance on Aiyedatiwa, the national secretariat of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has reportedly approved the meeting. The agenda includes the declaration of Aiyedatiwa as the acting governor.
A source familiar with the development stated, “The lawmakers are ready to meet today (Friday). One of the agenda of the sitting is the declaration of Lucky Aiyedatiwa as the acting governor.”
