Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State has died at the age of 67 after a prolonged illness. The Sad event occured in Lagos in the early hours of Wednesday December 27. It was learnt that he was managed by State House doctors up to his death because they could not fly him abroad. Recall that the governor returned to Nigeria in September following a three-month medical leave in Germany. Recently, he went on another medical leave after being directed by President Bola Tinubu to hand over power to his deputy, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, who has since then been  acting governor. Following his return to Nigeria in September, Akeredolu stayed in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital and tried to govern his state from there, leading to public outrage. Akeredolu’s wife, Betty announced the suspension of activities lined up to celebrate her 70th birthday.
