In the wake of the untimely death of Ondo State Governor Rotimi Akeredolu, Southwest Governors have pledged their commitment to ensuring a befitting burial for the late governor. 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. The budget proposal, initially presented by Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa at 385 billion naira, underwent an increase of over 10.7 billion naira. The Assembly adopted the report of the House Committee on Finance and Appropriation, presented by Chairman Oluwole Ogunmolasuyi. The revised budget of 395.25 billion naira reflects adjustments made after consultations with various ministries, departments, and agencies. Ogunmolasuyi emphasised the importance of sustaining and improving internally generated revenue to meet the budgetary needs of the state.

These developments highlight the ongoing activities and adjustments in Ondo State following the passing of Governor Rotimi Akeredolu. The commitment to a dignified burial and the passage of the 2024 budget underscore the efforts to navigate the transition and ensure continued governance in the state.
