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. He 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 the national leadership of the APC knows about 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 has likely ( made the declaration), but not under must, 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.”

Meanwhile, it was also gathered that President Bola Tinubu would meet members of the Assembly today in Abuja over the lingering crisis.

Details later…

That’s the right thing to do.

Will the cabals in Akure let this happen?

The governor is sick and old, Nigerian politicians are greedy and corrupt.

Arakurin Akeredolu is sick but does not wants to let go of political power. Meanwhile, he was busy advocating for the right thing to be done many years back. Fear politicians!

You don't get it
His deputy is an Ijaw and that's why they are afraid to hand over to him
Imagine Ijaw man ruling a Yoruba state

When God choose to bless you, no man can stop his blessings. Time for Deputy to cash out

Point of correction sir " LUCKY AYEDATIWA " IS NOT AN IJAW PERSON, HE IS AN ILAJE MAN.

And again, NO ONE IS AFRAID TO HANDOVER POWER TO THE IJAWS IN ONDO STATE.

Ondo State politics and governance are rotated among the 3 AXIS namely the North, South and Central axis.

In the South, you have the Ilaje, Ijaw, Apoi, Ikales and others that slugs it out whenever it's the turn of the Southern part of Ondo State.

That's good.

Lucky Aiyedatiwa is an Ilaje man. We the people of Ondo South are one, be you an Ikale, Ilaje, Ijaw, Apoi etc.

Ijaw is one of the ethnic groups in ondo state.

Is the deputy Governor not from the state? I don't think it has to do with ethnicity it's majorly the greed of Nigerian politicians and their insatiable love for power

Your politics of ethnicity is dead on arrival. Every sensible person in ondo state are calling for the transfer of power to Aiyedatiwa. The person holding the state to ransom is the wife of the governor who want to keep milking the state because of the incapacity of her husband. By the way, the deputy governor is a full blooded Yoruba man from Ilaje area of the state.

Same akereodolu that berate Yaradua for not handing over to Jonathan when he's sick is now doing the exact same thing

Terribly sick man clinging to power like his life depend on it

You politicians asslickers are scum of Earth

Now you want to import a non existing tribalism just to support irregularities

don't say what you don't know.

That’s the right thing to do...

Never taking responsibility! How's the wife to blame for the inability of the state house of assembly to do what is needful since?

When the loyalists of Akeredolu were threatening to impeach the deputy gov, you guys were celebrating that he wasn't loyal, you did not mention the wife, but now shifting the goalpost because the useless state house of assembly has come to their senses

What I posted above is exactly what an Ondo politician said on Arise TV..in his word 'you can't blame the deputy governor for being an Ijaw man,the governor should hand over to him

Comments like this make me see the wisdom in keeping states mostly mono ethnic. It's a good thing secession exist for states. Who knows when or if that option will be exercised. Joining coethnics may simply be a better alternative.

Most of these guys never hold their state assembly members responsible for anything. They're the real rubber stampers in Nigeria. I believe it's the beta culture Nigerians have to be subservient the alpha. Notice it took another big man Tinubu to talk the assembly into these actions since they don't have sense. It just shows how weak these men and institutions are if the wife some how rules over them.
