Posted by On Tuesday, the Ondo State Government refuted Abdullahi Adamu, the APC’s national chairman, who said that Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu is incapable of running the state.
The state’s commissioner for information and orientation, Bamidele Ademola-Olateju, released a press release in which she explained that the claims about the governor’s health were completely untrue.
Adamu reportedly labeled Akeredolu, who is now on medical leave, as being in a “extreme incapacity” during a meeting with state chairmen of the party in Abuja.
According to the statement, the bogus allegations were made by frantic politicians hoping to stir strife and spread malicious rumors about the governor and the state.
Ademola-Olateju emphasized that Ade Adetimehin, the state party chairman, who was present at the meeting, had affirmed that the national chairman had only offered prayers for the unwell governor’s quick recovery.
“Engineer Ade Adetimehin, the chairman of the APC in Ondo State, who was present at the meeting, refuted the claim, calling it false and entirely unrelated to what the chairman said in person.
“The National Chairman requested everyone in attendance to pray for the governor of Ondo State, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, CON, as he expressed excitement over reports about his pace of recovery.
“Mr. Governor is not unable to function. When the medical professionals declare him to be in good health, he will resume his duties.
