Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State passes away at 67
By Sabiu Abdullahi
Ondo State is in mourning as Governor Rotimi Akeredolu, aged 67, succumbed to health challenges in Lagos.
Despite efforts to secure medical treatment abroad, the governor remained in Lagos under State House doctors’ care until his demise.
Returning to Nigeria in September after a three-month medical leave in Germany, Akeredolu faced persistent health issues.
Recently on medical leave again, he handed over power to his deputy, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, who has been acting as governor.
The late governor’s decision to govern remotely from Ibadan, Oyo State, sparked public outrage.
