The late Rotimi Akeredolu, Governor of Ondo State, has reportedly passed away at the age of 67.
Unconfirmed reports suggest that the deputy, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, is poised to be sworn in.
The state government has not issued an official statement, and attempts to verify the information with the Alagbaka Government House have been unsuccessful.
The Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Richard Olabode, and the Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Mrs. Bamidele Ademola-Olateju, have not responded to inquiries at this time.
