President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has reportedly instructed Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State, who is currently unwell, to delegate his powers to his deputy, Lucky Aiyedatiwa.
Due to the governor’s health condition, Naija News learnt that the power transfer will be facilitated through an electronic signature (e-signature) instead of physical documentation.
The directive was given during a meeting called by President Tinubu yesterday to address the leadership crisis in Ondo.
The Nigerian leader is said to have informed attendees that Governor Akeredolu’s health had deteriorated to the point where he could no longer sign any official letters.
To find a resolution to the lingering tussle in the South-West state, President Tinubu had summoned the state deputy governor, Aiyedatiwa, and the House of Assembly Speaker, Olamide Oladiji, to an urgent meeting at Aso Villa in Abuja, scheduled for Monday.
According to SaharaReporters, sources in the know have revealed that President Tinubu intends to propose that the deputy governor assume the role of acting governor in order to address the leadership crisis in the state.
Gistmania reports that the emergency meeting on Monday marks the second gathering called by the President to address the leadership crisis, which arose due to the governor’s absence from office since July 2023.
