Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State has told residents
of Akure geopolitical zone of the state that it was not yet their
turn to produce governor of the state.
Akeredolu, who was speaking at a reception, held in honour of
immediate past senator representing Ondo Central District at the
weekend said the people of Akure should wait pending when it would
come to produce the governor for the state.
Instead, the governor, however, said Akure should be given an
opportunity to produce a Minister that would represent the state at
the Federal Executive Council when President Muhammadu Buhari would
inaugurate his cabinet.
Akure geopolitical zone which comprised Akure South, Akure North
and Ifedore Local Governments had been agitating for the position
of governor since 1999.
The zone had not produced any elective governor or Minister
since the return of democracy in 1999 despite the fact the zone
hosted the state capital just it had also not produced elected
governor since the creation of the state since 1976.
