Ondo state Governor Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Odunayo Akeredolu (SAN) has not returned to Ondo state from his medical vacation in Germany.
This was revealed in a statement released by his Chief Press Secretary, Richard Olatunde on Sunday August 13, 2023.
In the statement, Richard Olatunde described the video circulating on social media platforms as an old video of Governor Akeredolu while he was still in the country.
He described as untrue the information circulating that the Governor has returned from his medical vacation.
It read “Our attention has been drawn to a recent video circulating on social media, suggesting the return of Ondo State Governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, CON, from his medical vacation.
“While we acknowledge the eagerness of the people of the state, as well as supporters and well-wishers from both within and outside the country to have the Governor back, we want to clarify that Governor Akeredolu is currently in Germany, focused on his full recovery.
“Governor Akeredolu extends his deep appreciation to the citizens of Ondo State for their unwavering prayers and support. Their genuine concern and compassion have been instrumental in aiding his recovery journey.
He also revealed that the Governor will be returning to the state very soon to continue the business of governance but the video being circulated was captured before the Governor left the country.
“It’s important to note that Governor Akeredolu will return to the state very soon to continue executing his administration’s REDEEMED agenda and providing impactful governance. His commitment to delivering positive and lasting development remains steadfast.
“The video in question, which is circulating, was captured during the Governor’s campaign tour in preparation for the last Presidential and National Assembly elections.
“Governor Akeredolu is eagerly looking forward to reuniting with the people of the sunshine state. He is deeply moved by the outpouring of love and support, and he can’t wait to continue working towards a brighter future for Ondo State.”
