Uproar as Gov Aiyedatiwa Visits Tinubu

Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa has visited President Bola Tinubu in his Lagos home.

Aiyedatiwa’s visit sparked speculation that he is preparing to run for the 2024 governorship election in the state.

Aiyedatiwa informed Tinubu of his ambition to succeed the late Governor Rotimi Akeredolu, who died after a brief illness.

However, aides to the Governor denied that the visit was politically motivated.

They claimed that Aiyedatiwa only went to Lagos to condole with Tinubu over the demise of Akeredolu.

The Governor’s aides also clarified that Aiyedatiwa is still mourning Akeredolu and has not started any political campaigns.

However, the details of Aiyedatiwa’s meeting with Tinubu were not disclosed.

Meanwhile, Babajide Akeredolu, the son of the late Governor, also met with Tinubu to discuss the funeral plans for his father.

Babajide thanked Tinubu for his support and guidance to the Akeredolu family.

Earlier, Aiyedatiwa had visited the Ibadan home of the Akeredolus, where he consoled the widow, Betty, and other relatives.
