Recent Picture of Governor Akeredolu Sparks Reactions

A recent picture of the Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu has generated mixed reactions from internet users.

The picture was shared on social media on Monday, 4th September.

Governor Akeredolu has been on medical leave since June this year. His health status compelled the Ondo State House of Assembly in July, to extend his medical leave indefinitely.

In the Governor’s absence, his deputy, Hon Lucky Ayedatiwa, has been in charge of Ondo State in acting capacity.

On Monday, his wife, Betty Akeredolu shared a picture on the X platform formerly known as Twitter.

Sharing the picture, she noted that Senator Niyi Adegbonmire was in Germany to greet Governor Akeredolu. She added a hashtag with the information that the Governor would soon return.

The picture however generated mixed reactions from social media users. While some continued to pray for Akeredolu’s quick recovery and soonest return to governance, others urged him to resign completely and focus on his recovery.

Some others also advised his wife to refrain from sharing the Governor’s pictures on social media and also curb visits to him while recuperating.
