In recent weeks, calls for the resignation of Ondo State Governor Rotimi Akeredolu have intensified as he continues to govern from Ibadan, Oyo State, following a prolonged medical trip to Germany.
The governor's absence has sparked debate, with critics suggesting that the state is on auto-pilot. Akeredolu's decision to stay in Ibadan, coupled with accusations against the First Lady, Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu, has raised questions about his ability to lead.
The political landscape further unravels as loyalists seek to impeach Deputy Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, leading to a power struggle within the state. Amidst the turmoil, the National Publicity Secretary of the Ondo State PDP calls for Akeredolu's impeachment, citing a violation of the constitution.
However, legal experts note the complex process required for such a declaration, raising doubts about its feasibility. The situation adds to the growing political tension, overshadowing the impending 2024 election in Ondo State.
