President Bola Tinubu has again summoned the Ondo state deputy governor, Hon Lucky Aiyedatiwa, the Speaker of the House of Assembly, Rt Hon Olamide Oladiji, and others for another meeting at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The meeting is scheduled to take place today (Monday).
The latest invitation may not be unconnected to the festering political crisis in the state.
A reliable source told Vanguard in Akure that the Secretary to the State Government SSG, Princess Oladunni Odu, and the state chairman of the party, Ade Adetimehin, were equally invited by the President.
It is not clear other parties and stakeholders invited to find a lasting solution to the political logjam, occasioned by the continued absence of the governor in the state since his return from medical vacation abroad.
Recall that the state party chairman, Adetimehin, the SSG, Princess Odu, son of the governor, Babajide Akeredolu, senators representing Ondo South Jimoh Ibrahim, Ondo North Jide Ipinsagba, and Central Districts Adeniyi Adegbonmire were present at the last meeting held in November.
Part of the resolution then was that the status quo should remain.
Meanwhile, pro-democracy activist and former presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has vowed to mobilise Ondo residents for the ‘Occupy Ondo State’ protest, which will take place at Akure Town Hall next Saturday.
Sowore said the protest “is to address the affairs of the state, governance, and concerns related to Governor Akeredolu.
