President Bola Tinubu has directed the Ondo State House of Assembly to transfer power to deputy governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa.
PoliticsNow had reported yesterday that the governor’s health had worsened leaving his family members with the only option of prayers.
Tinubu reportedly summoned a meeting of stakeholders in Ondo where he gave them the directive.
The President emphasized that this transfer should be conducted without any conditions, as it aligns with the “Doctrine of Necessity.”
It was agreed that the transfer of power will be done by electronic signature (e-signature) as the ailing governor is too weak to sign any document.
This decision allows Governor Akeredolu to take a medical leave, ensuring his well-being.
