Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu will commence his medical leave today as a follow-up to his medical treatment.

His spokesperson, Richard Olatunde, made this known in a statement.

Olatunde said that during his medical leave, the governor will prioritize his health and ensure a full recovery before resuming his official duties.

According to him, “a formal letter regarding the medical leave and a notice formally transferring power in line with the Nigerian Constitution will be transmitted to the State House of Assembly."

Olatunde said during Akeredolu’s absence, the Deputy Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, will assume the responsibilities of the Governor in an acting capacity.

In an interview with Inspiration FM, social commentator and legal practitioner Fred Nzeako, said this is a good development.

Barrister Nzeako added that this will put all those who are benefiting from the crisis to rest.
