However, on July 11, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, his deputy, said Akeredolu would resume duty after being certified fit by doctors.

Aiyedatiwa later added that Akeredolu had extended his medical leave, and directed him to act in his stead.

Months of high-level political intrigues and tension came to a temporary stop in Ondo a fortnight ago as Akeredolu returned from medical treatment in Germany.

He is yet to resume at his office in Akure though as he presently runs the affairs of the state from Ibadan, Oyo state.

Commenting on the Ondo governor’s health, Ayodele said the 67-year-old still needs to be supported with prayers.

'Aiyedatiwa won't succeed Akeredolu'

Meanwhile, the clergyman has played down the chances of the deputy Aiyedatiwa succeeding Akeredolu ahead of the guber election in the state in 2024.

“And let’s continue praying for Akeredolu. Pray for his life. Akeredolu still needs prayers for his health.”
