National Chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Abdullahi Adamu, yesterday, declared that the ailing Ondo State governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, was incapacitated and hospitalised. Adamu stated this at a meeting between the national leadership of the party and APC state chairmen.
Earlier, Akeredolu, who is also the chairman of South West Governor’s Forum, wrote to the state House of Assembly to extend his medical leave and the acting period by the deputy governor, Mr. Lucky Aiyedatiwa.
Addressing the APC state chairmen, Adamu revealed that Akeredolu was incapacitated and currently hospitalised overseas.
“In the same vein, we regret to announce the extreme incapacity of the governor of Ondo State, who we understand has been hospitalised overseas,” Adamu said. “We wish and pray for him for a speedy recovery,” he added.
On the state of the party, Adamu said while APC governors were the leaders of the party in their respective states, the party chairmen ran the party on a daily basis. He added that an atmosphere of understanding between the chairmen, the governors, and members of the National Working Committee (NWC) would go a long way in enhancing good leadership of the party.
