Sowore to lead ‘Akeredolu Resume or Resign’ protest in Ondo

Pro-democracy activists and politicians, will on Saturday, storm Ondo State.
Their mission: Governor Rotimi Akeredolu must resume immediately or resign.
They will be led by presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore.

Members of Take It Back Movement are already in Akure, the state capital, to mobilise residents for the ‘Occupy Ondo State’ protest which will take place at the Akure Town Hall.
There has been so much tension in the Sunshine State due to the month-long absence of Akeredolu because of ill-health.
He was on medical leave to Germany and since his return, he has not returned to Ondo State.

It is believed he is in his Ibadan, Oyo State residence, recuperating. But, a source said he may have been flown abroad again to seek medical help.
Due to his absence, forces loyal to him have been battling his deputy, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, leading to tension in the 47-year-old state.

Members of the House of Assembly, who are believed to be sympathetic to Akeredolu and his wife, Betty, also tried to impeach him.
Aiyedatiwa quickly ran to court to stop, what he described as an illegal act.
President Bola Tinubu had to call the combatants to maintain the peace.

But, Sowore, on Sunday night, said the protest scheduled for Saturday, “is to address the affairs of the state, governance and concerns related to Governor Akeredolu”.
