The Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) in Ondo State has described the continued absence of Governor Rotimi Akereodolu from the Government House, as total disregard for the rule of law.

For months now, Ondo State has been embroiled in a political crisis, one that could be linked to the continued absence of Governor Rotimi Akereodolu from the state since returning from his medical vacation in September, a development that has been generating reactions from different political watchers.

The Chairman of the party, Fatai Adams, said its high-time Governor, Akereodolu, transmitted power to his deputy, going by the country’s constitution.
