“The Governor will join us in a few days’ time, but not in response to the threat of the opposition parties,” Lawal stated confidently. “The Ondo state government does not owe a dime of salary. The Governor is in Ibadan, where it is important for him to rest and recover.”
Lawal further emphasized that the activities of governance were ongoing and that Governor Akeredolu had been actively engaged despite his absence. “He has had Zoom meetings with Obas and other groups, and has been in constant communication with the people,” Lawal revealed. “We are optimistic that he will soon make a complete recovery and physically join us. Just as even God rested on the seventh day, recognizing the importance of rest and rejuvenation, Governor Akeredolu’s decision to seek rest and adjust his work schedule is a testament to his human nature.”
Lawal also reminded the public of Governor Akeredolu’s unwavering commitment to the welfare and security of the state. “Let us not forget the days when Governor Akeredolu stood firm and defended Ondo State and the Southwest as a whole when herdsmen went on a killing spree,” Lawal passionately stated. “He has been a strong pillar and voice for the voiceless. We owe him our understanding and trust. He has proven himself to be a leader for all seasons.”
