Why Aiyedatiwa Hasn’t Moved Into Ondo Govt House

Weeks after Lucky Aiyedatiwa‘s swearing-in as the substantive Governor of Ondo State, reports reveal he is yet to move into the State House located at Alagbaka, Akure, the state capital.

A source in the Governor’s Office disclosed that the governor had yet to move into the main governor’s office as of Friday, adding that Aiyedatiwa was not making use of the Government House

The source said, “The governor has been coming to the office, but he has been using his old deputy governor office to operate and receive visitors. He has yet to occupy the state Government House too. The only place he uses in the Government House is the Presidential Lodge where he receives visitors. The governor’s residential lodge too has not been used by the governor.”
