Ondo State Governor, Governor Rotimi Akeredolu has declared tomorrow, Wednesday work free day to celebrate his second term inauguration.
In a circular signed by the Ondo State Head of Service, Aderemi Olabode on the subject matter, accounting officers were instructed to note the circular and disseminate same to all staff of their respective Ministries, Departments and agencies (MDAs).
Meanwhile, the second term inauguration ceremony of Oluwarotimi Akeredolu as the governor of Ondo State has been scheduled to hold on February 24 (tomorrow), at the International Culture and Event Center, Igbatoro Road, Akure, which ordinarily sits 1,800 persons.
The chairperson of the inauguration committee and deputy governor -elect, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, told journalists in Akure recently that the inauguration and all the ancillary activities would be low-key, due to the prevailing economic situation in the state.
Mr Akeredolu was re-elected governor of the state on October 10, 2020, on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, defeating the Peoples Democratic Party candidate, Eyitayo Jegede, and the current Deputy Governor, Agboola Ajayi, who contested on the platform of the Zenith Labour Party.
Mr Akeredolu will take the oath of office next week, despite his re-election being challenged by Mr Jegede.
Mr Jegede is asking the governorship election tribunal to declare him winner and nullify the election of Mr Akeredolu on the grounds that the latter was not validly nominated.
