Akeredolu died in Germany on Wednesday, December 27, 2023, after a protracted battle with cancer, and hours after his death was announced, his deputy, who’s been working in an acting capacity was sworn in as the new governor of the state.
However, since Aiyedatiwa’s emergence, no fewer than five aides of the former governor have dropped their resignation letters.
They include the Chief Press Secretary to the former governor, Richard Olatunde, his Special Adviser on Union Matters and Special Duties, Dare Aragbaye, the Commissioner for Infrastructure Lands and Housing, Aminu Raimi, the Special Assistant on Photography, Olawale Abolade and the Senior Special Assistant on Special Duties and Strategy, Dr Doyin Odebowale.
