Southwest Governors on Tuesday, visited their ailing colleague, Rotimi Akeredolu at his private residence in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
The governors who visited Akeredolu are Seyi Makinde (Oyo); Babajide Sanwo-Olu (Lagos); Dapo Abiodun (Ogun); and Biodun Oyebanji (Ekiti).
Since his return, he has not been to Ondo state where he serves as governor and this has caused a serious rift between the political parties in the state with the main opposition party, PDP demanding his immediate resignation.
According to Akeredolu’s Chief Press Secretary, Richard Olatunde, the meeting, which was held in the capital of Oyo State, Ibadan, fostered discussions on various matters impacting the region and its people.
