Sowore Demands Akeredolu’s Resignation

• Sowore highlighted the necessity for citizens to defend their constitutional rights

During a town hall meeting at the Akure City Hall on Saturday, renowned rights activist Mr. Omoyele Sowore called for the resignation of Ondo State Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu.

Sowore emphasised the importance of freeing the state from alleged resource mismanagement by a few individuals. He specifically challenged the House of Assembly to publicly present the letter purportedly written by Governor Akeredolu requesting medical leave in order to verify its authenticity.

While he clarified that his presence was unrelated to the upcoming governorship election, Sowore emphasised the importance of accountable governance for citizens’ welfare.

Sowore expressed concern about Akeredolu’s continued tenure in office despite reported health issues, and he criticised the governor’s receipt of a security vote while absent from the legislature.

Addressing the political impasse and its detrimental impact on development, Sowore highlighted the necessity for citizens to defend their constitutional rights.
