According to reports, the Ondo State House of Assembly will talk about the state’s political situation during a plenary session today.
A report claims that if Rotimi Akeredolu, the governor, is unable to return to work due to illness, the legislature may choose Lucky Aiyedatiwa, the deputy governor, as the acting governor.
Nevertheless, a source close to the previously mentioned media claimed that disagreements over the Aiyedatiwa problem may have prevented some of the MPs from attending today’s meeting.
The insider also revealed that the All Progressives Congress (APC) national leadership approved of today’s meeting.

The source said, “The lawmakers are ready to meet today (Friday). One of the agenda of the sitting is the declaration of Lucky Aiyedatiwa as the acting governor. Though some of the lawmakers may not be at the meeting today because they are not in support of Aiyedatiwa becoming an acting governor the national leadership of the APC knows about and has approved the meeting. So they may declare Aiyedatiwa acting governor today.”
Olatunji Oshati, a politician and the chairman of the House Committee on Information, verified the situation when he was called, but he was unable to find out if Aiyedatiwa would be named an acting governor.
The Assembly spokesman said, “What I can tell you for now is that there is something like that, not to declare him (Aiyedatiwa) but the House is going to sit on the matter and review the political situation today as directed by our national leaders. The House has likely ( made the declaration), but not under must, I don’t want to preempt what the outcome of the meeting would be. If it is likely to happen, you are invited as well.”
