The Ondo State Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa has announced that late Governor Rotimi Akeredolu will be buried on February 23 and 24, 2024.
Aiyedatiwa announced this during a cabinet meeting on Monday January 8, 2024.
It would be recalled that Akeredolu died at about 2 a.m. on Wednesday, 27, 2023, at a Germany hospital where he was receiving treatment.
He died of leukemia and prostate cancer, two ailments that had made him incapacitated for several months.
His remains was brought from Germany to Nigeria on January 6, 2023.
“The burial has been fixed between February 23 and 24. Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, who also doubled as the Chairman of the Committee made the announcement on Monday,” a source at the meeting said.
The source added, “SSG (Odu) got wind that her name was not on the list of the committee and during a meeting with the governor, Aiyedatiwa, at the governor’s office, she raised her concerns about it.
“It became a whole lot of argument and charged at the governor for not including her on the list of the committee. But it took the intervention of other cabinet members at the meeting to calm the nerves of the woman. In fact, I’m aware that the meeting did not end peacefully due to the manner Odu behaved.”
“Don’t forget that Odu also has eyes on the seat of the governor and she is ready to contest in the governorship race,” another source added.
