The opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ondo State has tasked Governor Rotimi Akeredolu to come out of hiding and discharge his executive responsibilities to the people of the state.
The PDP said the governor should “come out” or resign honorably and attacked the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for condoning the seclusion of the governor.
MUK TV recalls that Akeredolu, who now resides at his residence in Ibadan since returning to Nigeria in the first week of September from a three-month medical leave in Germany, has gone incommunicado.
He has reportedly not set foot in Ondo and, very worrisomely, has not been seen in any public event or a video recently.
In a statement on Sunday, the PDP’s spokesperson in Ondo State, Kennedy Peretei, said, “The governor has been absent from his duty post since April this year, yet they are comfortable with the total collapse of governance in the state.
“If they know where Akeredolu is, they should ask him to come out or resign honorably.”
Similarly, a socio-political group in the state, the Ondo Redemption Front (ORF), also called on Governor Akeredolu to address the state or resign from office if he is not fit to govern the state.
“It is visible to the blind and audible to the deaf—the state of comatoseness that Ondo State has found herself in recent times.
“And regrettably so, because she used to be the shining star of the West and a reference point for good governance and the social welfare of the citizens.
“Governance has suddenly taken flight, leaving the people without leadership, direction, or representation in all forms.”
