Traditional rulers in Ondo have organised a prayer session for the quick recovery of ailing Governor Rotimi Akeredolu.
The governor has since handed over to his deputy, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, in an “acting capacity,” pending when he would resume official duty.
At the prayer session on Wednesday, the traditional rulers, under the aegis of the Ondo State Council of Obas, prayed to God to grant Mr Akeredolu good health to resume office and complete his job as the governor of the state.
Led by its chairman, the Deji of Akure kingdom, Aladetoyinbo Aladelusi, the monarch said they believed that God would lay his healing hands on the governor and make him stand back on his feet.
Mr Aladelusi said the traditional rulers decided to offer supplications to God to seek his face collectively in the interest of the sick governor, especially having offered prayers at their different domains.
He specifically gave samples of where God healed the sick in the scriptures, irrespective of the causes and nature of their sickness.
Describing the governor as a fearless leader who had done so much for the state in security and infrastructure, Mr Aladelusi stated that the traditional rulers would never be tired in their prayers for Mr Akeredolu to get healed.
