National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Senator Iyiola Omisore, has assured that Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu of Ondo state would soon resume duties.
Omisore gave this assurance when he paid a “solidarity visit” met with the Acting Governor, Hon. Lucky Ayedatiwa in Akure on Friday.
The APC national scribe said there was no need for alarm but prayers for the Governor to return after adequate rest.
Omisore said the twist in the wish and prayer of the National Chairman, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, was regrettable.
He reiterated that the National Chairman never said the governor was incapacitated.
According to Omisore, the visit was meant to dispel the misapprehension of Adamu’s statement.

Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo state said the South-East needs the intervention of President Bola Tinubu to fight insecurity in the region.
Uzodimma stated this while addressing journalists at the presidential villa, Abuja, after a meeting with President Tinubu on Thursday.
The governor disclosed that the South-East leaders are planning to meet with Tinubu to discuss the lingering insecurity in the region.

But, Uzodimma has assured that the South-East leaders and governors will meet with the president to seek his intervention to achieve peace in the zone.
He said, “My visit has to do with the security situation in the country.
“If you recall a few days ago, we had a meeting of the leadership of south-east, political and non-political leaders in conjunction with the leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo.
