The Speaker of Ondo State House of Assembly, Olamide Oladiji, today, December 13, declared Deputy Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa as acting governor, following the receipt of the letter from Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu on transmitting power
He, however, clarified that a constitutional procedure is required, and he would direct the Clerk of the House to provide his consent to the Secretary of the State Government.
Oladiji said that he had told the House members about the meeting with President Bola Tinubu and that they had accepted the governor’s letter.
According to the speaker, there won’t be any sitting on the matter as he will release a press statement after concluding the process of transmitting power to the deputy governor.
Aiyedatiwa will now take over the duties of the governor in an acting capacity until a formal declaration to the contrary is made, according to the Speaker’s statement.
