The prolonged political crisis in Ondo State, on Friday night came to a head after a six-hour meeting convened by President Bola Tinubu that brought together the state’s Deputy Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa and members of the House of Assembly at the State House, Abuja.
Aiyedatiwa, speaking after the President’s intervention, pledged to carry all commissioners and officials along in handling the state’s affairs, while the Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Oladiji Olamide, resolved to halt all impeachment moves against Aiyedatiwa.
The resolutions came after the deliberations between the president and state officials, including members of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The Deputy Governor who declared his decision to maintain the status quo and unite all the warring factions said: “I want to say that I pledge to all of you that I embrace every one of you. I put behind all that has happened before now. I’ve let go and also let God, just as the President has advised us.
