'There're evil plans against Akeredolu': Ondo govt

Olatunde added that "the story making the rounds is baseless, unfounded, and only a figment of the imagination of evil-minded politicians". A report by The Punch noted this.

His statement partly reads:

“While the good people of the state are happy over the safe return of the Governor from his medical vacation, these set of embattled politicians have been having sleepless nights gnashing their teeth in regrets of their failed evil plans.
“For us, we are committed to addressing the genuine concerns of the people of the state. This is why development is prioritised under the Akeredolu administration.”

“Akeredolu’s health has reincarnated Yar’Adua scenario”

In a piece of related news, Legit.ng reported that Allen Sowore, one of the brothers of Omoyele Sowore, faulted Governor Akeredolu on how the affairs of the state are being administered.
