Lucky Aiyedatiwa, the Acting Governor of Ondo State, has arrived at the Governor’s office for his swearing-in ceremony as the state governor.
Following the death of Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu earlier on Wednesday, Aiyedatiwa will be sworn in as Governor of Ondo State.
Aiyedatiwa’s journey to become governor of Ondo State lasted a year, as Akeredolu faced health issues before succumbing to the talons of death on Wednesday in faraway Germany, where he was being treated for prostate cancer.
Aiyedatiwa survived an impeachment plot by Akeredolu’s allies in the Ondo State House of Assembly and stark opposition by his late principal’s foot soldiers.
