President Tinubu orders Ondo Assembly to transfer power to Deputy Governor

President Bola Tinubu has reportedly ordered the Ondo state house of assembly to transfer power to the deputy governor of the state, Lucky Aiyedatiwa.

This is due to the inability of the governor, Rotimi Akeredolu to be present to run the affairs of the state due to his health condition.

The President emphasized that this transfer should be conducted without any conditions, as it aligns with the “Doctrine of Necessity.”

This decision allows Governor Akeredolu to take a medical leave, ensuring his well-being.

There has been a crisis in the Ondo state political atmosphere and assembly members loyal to the governor have been at loggerheads with the deputy governor. They were at the Aso rock some weeks back to resolve the crisis.
