Akeredolu Working From Ibadan Due To Accommodation Challenges – Aide
The Special Adviser on Special Duty and Strategy to Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State, Doyin Odebowale, says accommodation challenges were the reason his principal is not working from the capital Akure.
He said this while featuring on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Tuesday night, highlighting the pressing need for a more suitable residence for Akeredolu, given his current health condition.
Osun Defender reports that Akeredolu has been absent from the state ever since his return from a medical vacation abroad.
His decision to work remotely from Ibadan, Oyo State, has sparked controversy within the state.
Odebowale said the governor has been managing a two-bedroom apartment for six years, adding that his current state of health would not permit him to use such again.
He however noted that
a new place that is being arranged for the Governor is almost completed.
He said, “Aketi came back in September. Where he used to stay – the Presidential Lodge built for the visiting president at that time Olusegun Obasanjo – is a two-bedroom apartment,” he said on the show.
“Now, he is back. He cannot occupy that place again. The Old Governor’s Office – the Governor’s Lodge built by the previous administration is now the office of the investment outlet called the ODIPA. That’s the office.
“So, the governor has been managing a two-bedroom apartment for six years. But his current state of health would not permit him to pretend that all is well. He would need all the things for him to recover properly. That’s why the new place that is being arranged for him is almost completed.”
