Olatunde disclosed the governor also transferred power to the deputy governor, Hon. Lucky Aiyedatiwa, to perform the functions of his office while he is away.

He said:

“In clear terms, Governor Akeredolu is not hospitalized anywhere. These are mere wishes of failed politicians who now carry the burden of uncanny distrust and embedded treachery. We won’t even wish them their evil imaginations. Once, they have tried; and they failed woefully. No amount of borrowed falsehood to cover up their moral deficiencies will bring back their lost political glory."
