Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State on Friday formally resumed work after returning from a three month medical vacation in Germany.
Akeredolu who arrived the country on Thursday handed a letter to that effect to the Speaker of the Ondo State House of Assembly, Olamide Oladiji, on Friday at a meeting with stakeholders from the state when they visited him at his Ibadan residence.
A copy of the letter was also handed to the deputy governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa.
Addressing the stakeholders, the governor said his return was to the glory of God.
According to him, by God’s grace, he would live to complete his tenure.
The governor, according to his media aide, Richard Olatunde said: “I came back yesterday, and as you know, it was a long journey. I decided that I must meet with you today.
“God has answered our prayers, and we give Him all the glory. I can assure you that our return is to the glory of God and the prayers of all of you here, and those who wished us well, I thank you very much.
“God has done what the majority of our people wanted. The majority of our people here knelt down and prayed for our return, and we have returned.
“So, because we had to land here in Ibadan first, I said I have to meet with house of assembly members here.
“We are here, and we are back. I am back, and by the grace of God, I will be alive to complete my full tenure in office. I want to tell you that I am back, and I will resume work immediately. This is my letter of resumption.”
