Lucky Aiyedatiwa has dismissed a judgment of the Federal High Court barring him from seeking another term in office in 2028, describing the ruling as an unnecessary distraction. The court sitting in Akure had on Thursday reportedly restrained the governor from contesting the next governorship election in the state.
Speaking during a live interview on Channels Television on Friday, Aiyedatiwa said the situation had been misrepresented in various narratives circulating on social media. The governor added that there is currently no timetable for another governorship election in the state.
“I would like to start with just clarifying a bit of sanity as regards to this matter,” Aiyedatiwa said. “Let me establish some truth so that the general public can have a better understanding of what has been and what is now.” He insisted that he had never informed anyone of plans to contest another governorship election in the state.
