The Ondo State House of Assembly is set to hold a plenary session today to discuss the state’s political situation.
It was reliably gathered that the lawmakers would discuss the issue of the executive arm of the government of the state as the lawmakers may declare the deputy governor, Mr Lucky Aiyedatiwa, as acting governor, following the inability of the governor, Mr Rotimi Akeredolu, to resume office, due to ill-health.
The governor is still recuperating at his private residence in Ibadan, Oyo State capital.
A source, however, noted that some of the lawmakers might not be at today’s sitting as a result of disagreement among them on the issue of Aiyedatiwa. The source also disclosed that today’s sitting had the consent of the National Secretariat of the All Progressives Congress.
The source said, ” The lawmakers are ready to meet today (Friday). One of the agenda of the sitting is the declaration of Lucky Aiyedatiwa as the acting Governor. Though some of the lawmakers may not be at the meeting today because they are not in support of Aiyedatiwa becoming an acting Governor but the National Leadership of the APC is in the know and has approved the meeting. So they may declare Aiyedatiwa Acting Governor today.”
When contacted, one of the lawmakers and Chairman, House Committee on Information, Mr Olatunji Oshati, confirmed the development but could not confirm if Aiyedatiwa would be declared an Acting Governor or not.
The Assembly spokesman said, “What I can tell you for now is that there is something like that, not to declare him (Aiyedatiwa) but the House is going to sit on the matter and review the political situation today as directed by our national leaders. The House is likely to make the declaration, but not under pressure. I don’t want to preempt what the outcome of the meeting would be. If it is likely to happen, you are invited as well.”
Further findings reveal that President Bola Tinubu would meet members of the Assembly today in Abuja over the lingering crisis.
