The Acting Governor of Ondo State, Lucky Aiyedatiwa said the impeachment process against him which slowed down the process of government in the last two months was unnecessary and avoidable.
Aiyedatiwa stated this on Thursday morning in a televised address to the people of Ondo which was monitored by Premium Politics.
The acting governor who said the government has recouped the gaps in the last two months, and thanked Ondo residents for standing by the truth.
Aiyedatiwa in the broadcast prayed for the speedy recovery of ailing Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, who recently embarked on another medical leave to Germany.
Akeredolu who was said to be suffering from cancer, had been to the European country(on April 3, 2023, and July 10, 2023) for treatment during which he handed over to Aiyedatiwa in an acting capacity.
He returned to the country on September 7 and wrote the state House of Assembly that he was resuming as governor only to stay his time out at his residence in Ibadan.
In his broadcast, Aiyedatiwa said that “we must return quickly to the path of accelerated progress that has eluded the state in the last few months.
“We must excuse unnecessary distractions. We can no longer be separated by interest or by purpose.
“We need a renewed unity to berth the significant and accelerated development clearly envisioned and vigorously pursued by Mr. Governor.
“My good people of Ondo State, what happened in the past was a temporary delay in our democratic journey. As a government, we have recovered.”
