The Ondo State Government has fixed February 23 and 24 for the burial of the late former Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu.
Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa reportedly fixed the dates and announced the composition of the burial committee after a state cabinet meeting on Monday.
“The burial has been fixed between February 23 and 24. Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, who also doubled as the Chairman of the Committee made the announcement on Monday,” a source said.
However, the composition of the burial committee is causing ripples in the state.
Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Princess Oladunni Odu, is said to be a major omission from the burial committee.
“SSG (Odu) got wind that her name was not on the list of the committee and during a meeting with the governor, Aiyedatiwa, at the governor’s office, she raised her concerns about it.
“It became a whole lot of argument and charged at the governor for not including her on the list of the committee.
“But it took the intervention of other cabinet members at the meeting to calm the nerves of the woman. In fact, I’m aware that the meeting did not end peacefully due to the manner Odu behaved,” Sahara Reporters quoted a source as saying.
