Concern Over Gov Akeredolu’s Health, Reportedly Flown Out Of Country

By Ayodele Oni

Ondo State Governor, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu is currently seriously sick and may have been flown out of the country.

Sources close to the First Family revealed that Akeredolu was first taken to Ibadan, Oyo state for medical attention before he was flown out during the week.

The Governor, who resumed from his annual vacation just few weeks ago during which he took time off to attend to his health issue was reportedly down again few days after resumption.

Although none of his aides or top government functionary was willing to volunteer information on the condition of the Governor, a reliable source close to the First Family confirmed that the Governor is presently “critically” sick.

Akeredolu had, early this week, personally signed a statement in which he  advised President Bola Tinubu to, immediately, settle down and address urgent problems confronting the country.

It was learnt that the Governor could not inform the House of Assembly or officially hand over affairs of the State to his Deputy as he was said to have suddenly fallen ill, which prompted his being rushed out of the State.

The Governor’s wife, Betty, had, last year, raised an alarm accusing one of the female aides of the governor of giving him locally made concortion to treat an undisclosed ailment.

An official statement was issued which confirmed that the governor was sick then but that his condition was not serious  enough to raise any dust.

Of recent, the governor had looked frail while his voice was less audible to the public.
