Barely 24 hours after the death of Rotimi Akeredolu, the Acting Governor of Ondo State, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has been sworn in as the governor.
The swearing-in was held at the Cocoa Conference Hall in the governor’s office in Akure, the state capital, and was administered by the chief judge, Justice Olusegun Odusola at 5:18 pm.
Recall that Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu died on Wednesday morning after a prolonged health battle.
Aiyedatiwa was the deputy governor until Wednesday, December 13 when power was formally transferred to him after Akeredolu went on another medical vacation.
