The Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, has passed away. A family source informed newsmen on Wednesday that Akeredolu died in Lagos.
Rotimi Akeredolu had been under the care of State House doctors until his demise because they couldn’t fly him abroad.
“Akeredolu has passed away; he died in Lagos,” the source said.
“They were searching for dialysis machines to be sent to his undisclosed location in Lagos last week.”
He was 67 years old.
The ailing governor returned to Nigeria in September after a three-month medical leave in Germany and recently proceeded on another one after being directed by President Bola Tinubu to hand over power to his deputy, Lucky Aiyedatiwa.
His deputy, Aiyedatiwa, has been serving as the Acting Governor.
After returning to Nigeria in September, Akeredolu stayed in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, and attempted to govern his state from there, which led to public outrage.
