Pray For Akeredolu – Aiyedatiwa Begs Ondo Residents

The acting Governor of Ondo State, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has urged the people of the state to remember the governor of the state, Rotimi Akeredolu, in their prayers.

Aiyedatiwa made this plea during a state broadcast on the assumption of office as acting governor of Ondo State on Thursday.

The acting governor also urged the people of the state to embrace unity even as they return the state to the path of “accelerated progress”.

He urged the people not to relent, as they have always done, in their prayers for the quick restoration of good health and strength to their leader, Akeredolu.

Aiyedatiwa also called on residents of the state to embrace peace and unity to allow for development in the South-western state.

He said, “We must excuse unnecessary distractions. We can no longer be separated in interest or divided in purpose. We must stand together until the end.

“We must come back stronger and more determined to advance the welfare and security of our people, being the primary object of government as encapsulated in the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, as amended.

“Let us build a shared future from a divided past. We owe no less to the good people of the Sunshine State.”

Naija News had earlier reported that Aiyedatiwa’s status as acting governor was confirmed by the Ondo House of Assembly following Akeredolu’s medical leave notification.

Before the notification, there have been increasing demands for Akeredolu to resign or delegate power during his prolonged absence for health reasons.
