Aiyedatiwa sworn in as Ondo 7th governor

The newly sworn-in Governor of Ondo State, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has expressed deep sorrow that his predecessor, the late Governor Rotimi Akeredolu, was not alive to witness his swearing-in ceremony.

Speaking during his inaugural speech after being sworn in as the 7th governor of Ondo State, Aiyedatiwa paid tribute to Akeredolu’s visionary leadership and tireless efforts in developing the state.

Aiyedatiwa acknowledged that Akeredolu’s public and prophetic declaration at the inauguration ceremony four years ago, where he was sworn in for a second term, set the tone for his eventual emergence as governor.

He lamented that Akeredolu was not alive to witness the fulfillment of what he had foretold.

Aiyedatiwa described the moment as a crucial point in the state’s history, reflecting on the struggles of the past, the sacrifices of heroes and the resilience of the people.

He also paid tribute to the founding fathers and former governors of the state for their contributions to its growth and development over the past 49 years.
