Ondo Guber: I can’t be governor for one year – Aiyedatiwa on plans to run

Ondo State’s Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has announced that he will run for the state’s top office in the upcoming gubernatorial election.

This was said by Aiyedatiwa on Friday during an appearance on TVC news, just after Oluwarotimi Akeredolu’s bones were interred.

Remember that on December 27, 2023, Mr. Aiyedatiwa took the oath of office as the state’s governor in place of Akeredolu, who passed away after a protracted illness?

In tears, the former governor’s remains were buried on Friday at his rural Owo home in the state’s Owo council area.

After the funeral, Aiyedatiwa said he would run for governor on November 16, arguing that no one would wish to hold the office for a year.

He said, “I will be running. I’m already a sitting governor, and let me say this: nobody wants to be governor for one year. Give me what the Constitution allows me to do.

“At least, let me also have the chance of running for one more time.”
