President Bola Tinubu has waded into the months-long political crisis in Ondo state with the gladiators involved pledging to embrace peace.
This came as the Deputy Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, pledged to carry all commissioners and officials along in handling the state’s affairs
The Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Olamide Oladiji on his part resolved to halt all impeachment moves against Mr. Aiyedatiwa.
The resolutions were reached after nearly six hours of deliberations on Friday night between the President and state officials, including members of the All Progressives Congress, who converged on the Aso Rock Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The Deputy Governor who declared his decision to maintain the status quo and unite all the warring factions said.
The Speaker of the House, Olamide, who read the details of the resolution, said there would be no more dissolution of the cabinet and the Deputy Governor would maintain status quo as far as the House of Assembly leadership is concerned.
The resolution came barely two days after Ondo State Elders and Leaders appealed to the President to urgently intervene in the constitutional crisis in the state and avert the looming breakdown of law and order.
Ondo state has been a hotbed of political uncertainty in the past months as the Governor, Akeredolu, had been away in Germany undergoing medical treatment.
