The convener of the #RevolutionNow campaign in Nigeria, Omoyele Sowore, has described the ailing governor of Ondo State, Rotimi Akeredolu as the most expensive ghost worker in the country’s public sector history. Sowore said this during his speech at the town hall meeting held on Saturday in the state capital, Akure to demand the immediate resignation of Akeredolu as the state governor because of his inability to perform his constitutional duties.
Nigeria’s secret police, Department of State Services (DSS), has released four activists arrested for pasting ‘Akeredolu; Resume or Resign’ posters in Akure, Ondo State. SaharaReporters learnt about the release of the activists on Sunday evening. However, it was also learnt that the activists were tortured and denied food and water during their illegal incarceration.

In 2009, Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State asked the then-President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua to resign as he could no longer perform his functions. Akeredolu, then President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) repeatedly called on the late President to resign due to his ill health and allow his deputy, Goodluck Jonathan to take over. Yar’Adua and Jonathan were elected as president and vice president in 2007. He frequently fell ill and eventually died in May 2010.
