Chairman of the Southwest Governors’ Forum and Ondo State Governor, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, on Tuesday, met with Governors from the region to discuss issues of interest.
The Governors present at the meeting held at the private residence of Akeredolu in Ibadan, Oyo state, were Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos, Dapo Abiodun of Ogun, Seyi Makinde of Oyo, and Biodun Oyebanji of Ekiti.
Akeredolu’s continued stay in the Oyo state capital after his return from medical leave abroad has generated reactions from a cross section of people of Ondo State.
His aides and some lawyers insist that the Governor can decide to stay anywhere to govern the state while those opposed, especially opposition parties, say the continued stay outside the state is affecting governance.
Akeredolu, who appreciated the Governors for their solidarity, harped on continuous collaboration among the Southwest States.
Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, said the Forum is praying for Governor Akeredolu, adding that he has the support of all the Governors in the region.
A statement by Chief Press Secretary to the Ondo governor, Richard Olatunde, stated that the Governors discussed National and other Issues affecting the region and the people.
