Sowore Calls For Gov Akeredolu’s Immediate Resignation

Human Rights Activist and Investigative Journalist, Comrade Omoyele Sowore, has called for the immediate resignation of the ailing Ondo State Governor, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu

Sowore made the call on December 16, 2023, during a town hall meeting held at the Akure, the state capital.

While expressing the need to liberate the state from alleged mismanagement of resources by a select few individuals, Sowore charged the State House of Assembly to present the letter by Akeredolu for his medical leave to confirm its authenticity.

He said, “We have tolerated this situation for too long in Ondo State. This crisis has lingered for more than a year now. They cannot produce any letter from the governor because he is not in a condition to sign any document at the moment. There is no such letter.

“This isn’t merely about Akeredolu’s resignation or resumption, but about ensuring that individuals appointed into political offices have the people’s interests at heart,” Sowore emphasized. “With elections on the horizon, it’s crucial to be discerning. Enough is enough; this must cease,” he added.

Recall that Governor Akeredolu was said to have transferred power to his deputy on December 13 due to prolonged health issues.
