Ondo Faults ‘Jittery Politicians’ For Reports On Akeredolu’s Return

Published

Richard Olatunde, the chief press secretary, to Rotimi Akeredolu, governor of Ondo state, has blamed ‘jittery politicians’ for reports that the governor has returned to the country.

In a statement on Thursday, the media aide clearly denied reports claiming that his principal is back in Nigeria from the medical trip.

GWG.ng reports that Akeredolu left Nigeria in June for medical attention in Germany having sent a letter to the Ondo state house of assembly transmitting power to his deputy, Lucky Aiyedatiwa.

He had at that time said that he would be away for 21 days.

However, on July 11, Aiyedatiwa said Akeredolu would resume duty after being certified fit by doctors.

In the period, his wife, Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu sent a picture of herself and the governor said to be recuperating on July 21.

 Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu, his wife, shared a photograph of her husband in a medical facility. Betty posted the picture across her social media handles.

The situation with the governor was further confused on Thursday when some reports emerged that Akeredolu had returned to his Ibadan residence.

However, reacting to the claim in a statement, Olatunde said the return of Akeredolu is “imminent” noting that the report was created by “jittery politicians”.

“We would like to assure the good people of Ondo state and Nigerians in general that the Governor’s return will be widely publicized,” the statement reads.

“While we acknowledge that his return is imminent, we urge our citizens to disregard any false information and preemptive mischief orchestrated by jittery politicians.

“For emphasis, Governor Akeredolu has not yet returned to the country.”
