Tinubu In Talks With Ondo Deputy Governor, Others In Aso Rock
President Bola Tinubu is meeting the Deputy Governor of Ondo State, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, at Aso Rock Villa, Abuja, to fix the leadership crisis in the state.
The meeting, which commenced at 9:45 p.m., quickly moved into a closed-door session as the President requested that anyone not from Ondo State vacate the Banquet Hall.
However, over 50 persons were spotted, comprising lawmakers, aides of Governor Rotimi Akeredolu and those of the Deputy Governor in attendance.
They include Babajide Akeredolu, Senators representing Ondo North (Jide Ipinsagba), South (Jimoh Ibrahim), Central Districts (Adeniyi Adegbonmire), House of Representatives members from Ondo state including John Odimayo, Kimikanboh Ojogo, Festus Adefiranye, Olanrewaju Akingbaso, Abiodun Adesida, Adejoro Adeogun, Abiola Makinde and Adelegbe Oluwatimehin.
Also present are State Commissioners, party chieftains and some elders.
Friday’s meeting comes barely two days after Ondo State Elders and Leaders summoned the President to urgently intervene in the constitutional crisis in the state and avert the looming breakdown of law and order.
The Elders and Leaders also called on the state and national leaderships of the governing party, the All Progressives Congress, to provide the required guide to those in government and ensure discipline in their camp.
