Ondo State governor, Arakurin Rotimi Akeredolu, SAN, is dead.
Governor Akeredolu died early Wednesday in Lagos after a prolonged illness. He was aged 70 years.
It was learnt that he was managed by State House doctors up to his death because they could not fly him abroad.
Recall that the ailing governor returned to Nigeria in September following a three-month medical leave in Germany.
Recently, he went on another medical leave after being directed by President Bola Tinubu to hand over power to his deputy, Lucky Aiyedatiwa.
His deputy, Aiyedatiwa, has been standing in as acting governor.
Following his return to Nigeria in September, Akeredolu stayed in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital and tried to govern his state from there, leading to public outrage.
