The Commissioner for Information and Orientation in Ondo State, Ms Bamidele Ademola-Olateju, provided insights into why Governor Rotimi Akeredolu would not resign despite his ongoing health challenge.
In an interview on Arise TV, she emphasized that the governor, although recovering from illness, is not incapacitated, continuing to perform official duties.
Ademola-Olateju clarified that the governor's absence from social events was due to his health recovery, and he remained actively engaged with cabinet members, handling memos and approvals.
Responding to inquiries about the State Executive Council's stance on declaring incapacity, she asserted that there's no plan to evaluate his health unless he becomes incapacitated, as per constitutional provisions.
The commissioner acknowledged the political tension, attributing it to the deputy governor's ambition, while expressing gratitude for the public's support for Governor Akeredolu's administration.
