Ondo State Governor Rotimi Akeredolu is dead.
He died in Germany on Wednesday, it was learnt.
Mr Akeredolu died at the age of 67.
The ailing governor earlier this month had written to the state House of Assembly to proceed on medical leave again and transmitted power to his deputy, Mr Lucky Aiyedatiwa, to act as governor.
Akeredolu had returned to Nigeria in September after three months medical leave in Germany, but had stayed in Ibadan, a development that had generated public outrage.
Recently, he went on another medical leave after being directed by President Bola Tinubu to hand over power to his deputy, Lucky Aiyedatiwa.
His deputy, Aiyedatiwa, has been standing in as acting governor.
Akeredolu’s wife, Betty announced the suspension of activities lined up to celebrate her 70th birthday.
