Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, Ondo State Governor has been reported to be critically sick, as plans are underway to fly him out of Nigeria for treatment.
Recall Akeredolu was absent at the maiden APC governors meeting with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Friday.
However, a report by SaharaReporters revealed that Akeredolu’s family was set to fly him out of the country this weekend as his health had become critical.

It was also learnt that to prevent pictures of the governor’s emaciated looks from getting out, the family asked security agents and a few politicians around him to put off their mobile phones.
An undisclosed source told SaharaReporters that “Governor Akeredolu will be flown out of the country on Saturday for medical treatment as he is in a very critical condition. He was put in the wheelchair of his late mother and he seemed unconscious.
Added that “All security agents and a few top politicians around were asked to put off their phones when they visited him at his family residence in Ibadan.
“His condition is very critical now, which is why he is being flown abroad. He is currently in Ibadan because that is where the family prefers to have him when his condition is critical because of the prying eyes and civil servants in Ondo.”
SaharaReporters earlier reported that Akeredolu had been abandoned by his wife and children, which prompted their swift action to fly him abroad.
Meanwhile, Eko Hot Blog learnt that Akeredolu has refused to hand over to his deputy despite his incapacitation.
Akeredolu is a second-term governor under the All Progressives Congress (APC) and his tenure will come to an end in 2025.
