After a prolonged battle with Leukaemia, the Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, is dead.

A family source told SaharaReporters on Wednesday that Akeredolu died in Lagos.

It was gathered that the governor was managed by State House doctors up to his death because they could not fly him abroad.

“Akeredolu is dead; he died in Lagos. They were looking for dialysis machines to be sent to his secret location in Lagos last week,” the source was quoted to have said.

Until his death, the governor was 67 years old.

Recall that Akeredolu returned to Nigeria in September, following a three-month medical leave in Germany and recently proceeded on another one after he was directed by President Bola Tinubu to hand over power to his deputy, Lucky Aiyedatiwa.

His deputy, Aiyedatiwa has been standing in as Acting Governor.
