Aiyedatiwa To Preside Over Exco Meeting today

The Deputy Governor of Ondo State, Mr. Lucky Aiyedatiwa has returned to the state on Wednesday following last Friday’s meeting with President Bola Tinubu in Abuja, BEYOND AFRICA gathered.

This is as BEYOND AFRICA on gathered that the deputy returned to the state and went to his office to conduct some official activities.

A source in the deputy governor’s office informed newsmen that Aiyedatiwa would preside over the state Executive Council meeting that would be holding on today ( Thursday).

The source said, “The deputy governor is around and he has resumed office today (Wednesday). He would preside over the exco meeting tomorrow (Thursday).”


Earlier, the President met with stakeholders in the Ondo All Progressives Congress over the political crisis rocking the state.

In the raging crisis, the Ondo State House of Assembly pushed for Aiyedatiwa’s impeachment in the face of the apparent breakdown of the relationship between ailing Governor Rotimi Akeredolu and Aiyedatiwa, who was acting governor while his principal was on a long medical vacation in Germany.

BEYOND AFRICA reported that the Ondo Assembly met on Tuesday and disclosed that Aiyedatiwa had been asked to tender an undated resignation letter as part of the moves to resolve the political crisis.

According to the Assembly Speaker, Olamide Oladiji, the decision was taken at the meeting with Tinubu in Abuja.

But an ally of the deputy governor, who spoke to Journalists on Tuesday, Aiyedatiwa was not pleased with the arrangement.

Aiyedatiwa has been battling for political survival in the state as the state House of Assembly attempted to remove him following an allegation of gross misconduct against him.

The impeachment process was however stalled as the state Chief Judge, Justice Olusegun Odusola, refused the request of the Assembly to set up a  seven-man panel to investigate the deputy governor.
