Rotimi Akeredolu, the governor of Ondo, who as been hospitalized is in a state of “extreme incapacity,” according to Abdullahi Adamu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) national chairman.
On Monday in Abuja, Adamu addressed the APC chairmen from all over the nation.
Initially scheduled to return on July 6, Akeredolu had left on a 21-day leave on June 7.
He did, however, extend his medical leave in a letter to the state house of assembly.
Speaking on the governor’s state of health, Adamu said, “We regret to announce the extreme incapacity of the Governor of Ondo state who we understand has been hospitalised overseas. We wish and pray for him for a speedy recovery,” he said.
Adamu said President Bola Tinubu is consulting extensively before drawing up his ministerial list.
“The president has just started. And he is doing his extensive consultation before coming up with his nominees for ministers,” he said.
“The nomination of the ministers will come first. They will go through their screening until they are pronounced after they have been submitted by Mr. President.
“And Mr. President will formally appoint his ministers and swear them in.
“Only after doing that will he disclose each of them to the country to know which minister is going to which ministry, and how many ministries we are going to have.”
