The African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore has knocked Ondo State Governor Rotimi Akeredolu for refusing to relinquish power to his deputy, Lucky Aiyedatiwa.
Sowore, in a tweet via his official X handle, called out the governor for his role in ensuring that the family of late former Nigerian president Umar Musa Yar’Adua handed power to his deputy Goodluck Jonathan.
In the past few days, Sowore had continued to intensify calls for the Ondo state governor to hand over power to his deputy over his ailing health.
In his latest tweet, Sowore revealed that Akeredolu, while serving as the chairman of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), ensured that the family of late Yar’Adua handed over power to his then-vice, Goodluck Jonathan.
Tweet by Sowore read, “That was the hypocritical @RotimiAkeredolu when he was the president of the @NigBarAssoc in 2010 speaking on the fate of late Umaru Yar’Adua when his family led by his wife, Turai was using Nigerian to play Russian roulette. Today, Aketi’s people are doing the same to Ondo state people.”
