Ondo state governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, has shared his will to complete his tenure as governor.
The governor officially resumed duty on Friday, September 8, after a three-month medical vacation in Germany. LIB had reported that Gov. Akeredolu returned to Nigeria from Germany on Thursday, September 7 where he spent three months battling an undisclosed ailment,
On Friday, the governor met with stakeholders from the state, including Olamide Oladiji, speaker of the assembly, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, deputy governor, and members of the All Progressives Congress (APC), at his residence in Ibadan.
During the meeting, Akeredolu handed over his resumption letter to Oladiji and provided a copy to Aiyedatiwa.
The governor said by the grace of God, he will be “alive” to complete his tenure, which ends in February 2025.
“I came back and as you know, it was a long journey. I decided that I must meet with you today. God has answered our prayers, and we give Him all the glory. I can assure you that our return is to the glory of God and the prayers of all of you here, and those who wished us well, I thank you very much. Akeredolu said
God has done what the majority of our people wanted. The majority of our people here knelt down and prayed for our return, and we have returned. So, because we had to land here in Ibadan first, I said I have to meet with the house of assembly members here.
We are here, and we are back. I am back, and by the grace of God, I will be alive to complete my full tenure in office. I want to tell you that I am back, and I will resume work immediately. This is my letter of resumption.”
In June, Akeredolu left Nigeria for medical attention in Germany following a letter sent to the State House of Assembly of his intention to embark on a 21-day leave. He asked his deputy to act in his stead.
