The Ondo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has urged for transparent disclosure regarding the true state of Governor Oluwatotimi Akeredolu’s health.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that the party said the residents of the state deserve to be informed accurately about their governor’s well-being rather than relying on rumours and speculations.
In a statement issued in Akure, Kennedy Peretei, the spokesperson for the Ondo PDP, expressed concern over the comments made by Senator Adamu Abdullahi, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), regarding Akeredolu’s health. Peretei stated that these remarks only added fuel to the already heated situation in the state.
Peretei further highlighted the apparent disconnect between the national leadership of the APC and the party in Ondo State, citing the responses from the Ondo Government and the APC. The PDP spokesperson noted that this disconnect was evident in the appointments made so far by President Bola Tinubu.
The PDP spokesperson commented, “One cannot help but think that those responsible for managing information about Governor Akeredolu have failed in their duty, leaving the public in the dark until forced to speak.”
“Even if Akeredolu is “extremely incapacitated”, is it Senator Adamu Abdullahi that should announce it to the world? Who gave him the briefing from which he spoke? What was he insinuating with his “extremely incapacitated” narrative? We leave all of that in the realm of speculation. Since those concerned cannot effectively communicate with the people of Ondo on what is happening to their Governor.
“Talking seriously, the people of Ondo State across party lines are genuinely praying for Akeredolu to return to his desk soonest. Only a few have openly declared that the Governor’s return may be injurious to their aspiration and hence secretly wish the Governor dead. Unfortunately, in spite of medical postulations, only God knows who will be alive in the next minute.”
