The governor of Ondo State, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, has returned to the country, and interior minister Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo has praised him for his perseverance and commitment to the people of the state.

Akeredolu's return is a sign of God's faithfulness, according to Tunji-Ojo, who praised the governor for his ability to overcome hardship and resume his duties right away in a statement released over the weekend by Alao Babatunde, his special adviser on media and publicity.

According to him, the hopes of the people of the state were fulfilled when the news of the governor’s return was heard.

“The return of their beloved governor has brought immense joy and gratitude to the people of Ondo State, who have eagerly awaited his arrival.

“We are delighted to see you back in good health, and your unwavering commitment to the well-being and progress of Ondo State has been a tremendous inspiration to us all.

“Your invaluable leadership and dedication to the people of Ondo State fill us with hope for the continued development and prosperity of our state under your guidance.

As you officially resume your duties, we pray that our state witnesses even greater development under your watch.

After concluding a three-month medical leave in Germany, Governor Akeredolu arrived in the country last Thursday.
