The Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, has said that he’s not back to Nigeria but still recovering from his illness in Germany.
The governor made this known to the public via his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Richard Olatunde via his official Twitter handle.
This is coming after a video showing the Governor walking around what looked like an airport environment went viral.
In a reaction to the viral video, in a statement issued on Sunday, the CPS stressed that the video was not a recent one and had been recorded during the campaigns.
The statement read, “Our attention has been drawn to a recent video circulating on social media, suggesting the return of Ondo State Governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, CON, from his medical vacation.

While we acknowledge the eagerness of the people of the state, as well as supporters and well-wishers from both within and outside the country to have the governor back, we want to clarify that Governor Akeredolu is currently in Germany, focused on his full recovery.
Governor Akeredolu extends his deep appreciation to the citizens of Ondo State for their unwavering prayers and support. Their genuine concern and compassion have been instrumental in aiding his recovery journey.
“It’s important to note that Governor Akeredolu will return to the state very soon to continue executing his administration’s Redeemed agenda and providing impactful governance. His commitment to delivering positive and lasting development remains steadfast.
The video in question, which is circulating, was captured during the Governor’s campaign tour in preparation for the last Presidential and National Assembly elections.”
Olatunde noted that the governor was eagerly looking forward to reuniting with the people of the sunshine state.
“He is deeply moved by the outpouring of love and support, and he can’t wait to continue working towards a brighter future for Ondo State,” he added.
Gov Akeredolu has been out of the country from some months following his health condition.
He had recently passed his mantle to his deputy to be in acting capacity as governor pending his return.
