The political tension in Ondo seems to have subsided as the Deputy Governor, Hon. Lucky Aiyedatiwa, presided over the State Executive Council (Exco) meeting held in Akure, the state capital.
This development comes after months of political wrangling between Aiyedatiwa and loyalists of Governor Rotimi Akeredolu.
The Exco meeting is the first major event since the peace meeting convened by Bola Tinubu in Abuja last week.
The meeting had in attendance the warring factions within the state’s political landscape.
It was agreed at the meeting that Aiyedatiwa should continue to perform his duties as Deputy Governor.
The convening of the Exco meeting under the leadership of the Deputy Governor is seen as a sign that the political impasse in the state may have been resolved.
However, the details of the meeting’s agenda remain unknown at the time of this report.
