 The acting governor of Undo's state, Lucky Aydatiwa, has urged the people of the state to embrace unity even as they return the state to the path of accelerated progress. Aydatiwa stated these today during a state broadcast and his assumption of office as the acting governor of the state following the transmission of power to him by his principal who is on medical leave and the ratification of the move by the state assembly. The acting governor urged the people of the south-west state not to relent in their prayers for the quick restoration of good health and strength to Rotimi Akeridolu. Have culminated in today's address is a watershed in the annals of our experience as a people. It is not a moment of celebration, but rather a moment of sober reflection, a moment for us to really appreciate the collective budding of moving our state forward. The events of the past months have indeed challenged our love for our state and indeed democracy, which we all profess. As a government, we must appreciate the sovereignty of the people that voted us into office and we regret in no unmistakable terms the toll which this whole episode had inflicted on the psyche of the people. And the development of the state.
