Governor Rotimi Akeredolu, aged 67, died at about 2 a.m. on Wednesday, December 27, 2023, at a German hospital where he was receiving treatment for prostate cancer, an ailment that had made him incapacitated for several months.
After the formal announcement of the governor’s death, the Deputy Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, however, had been sworn in as substantive governor by the state’s Chief Judge.
