Tinubu wades Into Ondo political crisis
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that President Tinubu waded into the feud between Akeredolu and Aiyedatiwa.
A source said President Tinubu invited members of the Ondo Assembly to Abuja, the Nigerian capital city.
Prominent elders and traditional rulers in the week appealed to Tinubu to intervene in the political crisis to avert looming anarchy. It was gathered that the State Assembly has been divided with 11 lawmakers now in support of Aiyedatiwa.
Akeredolu gets 72 hours to transmit power
Legit.ng also reported that a coalition of opposition party leaders and affiliated groups gave Akeredolu a 72-hour deadline to transfer authority to Aiyedatiwa.
The demand was announced during a recent press conference where the group expressed displeasure with the governor's prolonged absence due to health issues.
Ondo lawmakers set to declare Akeredolu's deputy as acting governor
The Ondo State House of Assembly is reportedly ready for a plenary session today, Friday, November 24, to discuss the political crisis in the state.
The lawmakers are ready to discuss the issue of the executive arm of government and are likely to declare Aiyedatiwa as the acting governor of the state.
The development was a result of Governor Akeredolu's inability to resume office as a result of his health condition.
