Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun, speaking on behalf of the Southwest Governors Forum, expressed condolences and outlined plans to set up a committee responsible for organising the state funeral. The announcement was made in Ibadan after Governor Abiodun and other southwest governors visited Akeredolu's residence to commiserate with his family.
Meanwhile, Kennedy Peretei, Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ondo State, provided insights into recent developments in the Sunshine State during an interview. The political landscape in Ondo State is likely to undergo changes following the passing of Governor Akeredolu.
In addition to these developments, the Ondo State House of Assembly has passed the 2024 appropriation bill into law.
