Aiyedatiwa takes oath of office, pardons 43 inmates at inauguration
Group petitions gov over deplorable state of Akure township stadium
Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has been sworn in as the seventh elected civilian governor of the state.
He was sworn in alongside his deputy, Olayide Adelami, yesterday, at the Akure Township Stadium.
Chief Judge of the state, Olusegun Odusola, administered the oath on Aiyedatiwa and Adelami amid the presence of the people of the state and dignitaries who thronged the state.
The duo, while taking the oath of office as the number one and number two citizens, vowed to uphold the constitution, work within its dictates, and ensure the well-being of the people of the state.
Meanwhile, the governor has pardoned no fewer than 43 inmates serving different jail terms across the various correctional centres in the state.
The pardon by the governor was made as part of activities commemorating his inauguration as well as his efforts in sustaining and enhancing reformative justice in the state.
According to Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Ebenezer Adeniyan, in a statement made available to The Guardian, the move by Aiyedatiwa was hinged on the recommendations from the Advisory Council on the Prerogative of Mercy headed by the Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice of the state.
IN another development, the United Global Resolve for Peace (UGRFP) has petitioned the Ondo State government over the deteriorating condition of the Akure Township Stadium.
The group called for urgent intervention to restore the facility and address the challenges faced by Sunshine Stars FC and their supporters.
