Chairman of the Southwest Governors’ Forum and Ondo State governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, has disclosed details of his meeting with Southwest governors during a meeting on Tuesday.
The Editor reports that Governors present at the meeting, held in Ibadan, the Oyo state capital, includes, Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos, Prince Dapo Abiodun of Ogun, Seyi Makinde of Oyo, and Biodun Oyebanji of Ekiti.
Sharing photos of the visit via his X handle, Akeredolu said he met with governors from the region to discuss national and other issues affecting the region and the people.
He appreciated the Governors’ solidarity and harped on continuous collaboration among the Southwest States.
He said, “It was a delight to receive my brother Governors from the Southwest today as we discussed National and other issues of interest to the region and the people.”
Meanwhile, a group of legal practitioners and concerned citizens has urged the Ondo State Executive Council to declare Governor Rotimi Akeredolu unfit to remain the state governor, due to his poor health status.
The lawyers, in a statement, made the request in accordance with section 189 of the Nigerian Constitution 1999 (as amended), adding that the long absence of the governor had affected the socio-economic progress of the state.
The statement read, “Some lawyers of Ondo State origin have demanded the Ondo State Executive Council to comply with the provisions of Section 189 (1) of the 1999 Constitution (As Amended) by declaring that the Governor of Ondo State, Arakunrin Rotimi Odunayo Akeredolu, SAN is incapacitated and unable to perform the functions of his office.”
