The name of the nominee, who hails from Owo, headquarters of Owo local government, the hometown of the late former Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, was sent to the Assembly on Wednesday by Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa.
The Clerk of the Assembly, Jaiyeola Benjamin, had earlier read the letter sent to the House by Aiyedatiwa, requesting the consideration of the nominee for the position of Deputy Governor.
According to Akinruntan, the nominee has a clear understanding of the position, adding that he possesses the required academic qualifications and is physically, mentally, and emotionally stable and fit to accomplish the task.
