Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State is dead.
According to reports, Akeredolu died in Lagos on Wednesday.
The Ondo governor died at the age of 67.
It was learnt that he was managed by State House doctors up to his death because they could not fly him abroad.
“Akeredolu is dead; he died in Lagos,” a reliable source disclosed.
“They were looking for dialysis machines to be sent to his
secret location in Lagos last week.”
Recall that the ailing governor returned to Nigeria in
September following a three-month medical leave in Germany.
Recently, he went on another medical leave after being directed
by President Bola Tinubu to hand over power to his deputy, Lucky Aiyedatiwa.
His deputy, Aiyedatiwa, has been standing in as acting
governor.
Following his return to Nigeria in September, Akeredolu
stayed in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital and tried to govern his state from
there, leading to public outrage.
Akeredolu’s wife, Betty announced the suspension of
activities lined up to celebrate her 70th birthday.
The Ondo first lady announced the suspension of the
activities in Twitter posts after questions were raised over plans to have a
fanfare despite her husband’s ill health.
Betty, in a statement via her X handle, said, “Hello Family
and Friends. This is to inform you that all activities lined up to mark my 70th
birthday are hereby suspended till further notice due to unforeseen
circumstances beyond my control. Sorry for any inconvenience caused by this
development.
“Nevertheless, be
assured that I will be celebrated in style upon my return. Thank you for your
understanding. I remain Arabinrin a.k.a Ada Owere I,” she added.
