There are indications that the Governor of Ondo State, Rotimi Akeredolu may return to Germany for further medical care.
Since he returned from the medical vacation, the Governor has remained in his Ibadan residence, where he is said to be receiving treatment.
The opposition parties in the state had called on the Governor to resign from office or return to take over the affairs of the state.
The call, however, has yielded no result which prompted the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to protest against the governor’s absence on Monday.
A source who spoke with Vanguard on the development in Akure said Akeredolu may travel any moment from now for further medical checkups.
The source said, “Governor Akeredolu may be travelling back to Germany to continue with his treatment.
“He’s expected back fully mid-next month. That’s when he will resume fully in the state.”
An aide to the governor who refuted the speculations said Akeredolu is as fit as a fiddle and wouldn’t need to travel to Germany again.
The aide who spoke on the condition of anonymity said, “This report about the governor not well enough to resume and that he may be flown back to Germany is planted to discredit the governor.
“It’s a blatant lie, the governor is back and only resting in Ibadan, and he’ll soon resume fully in the state.
“You know our election is nearer. Governor Akeredolu would shame all those who think he won’t be around during the electioneering. He will have a say in who succeeds him by the special grace of God.”
