The Ondo PDP alleged that Akeredolu has relocated his government and state Assembly to his Ibadan residence.
The spokesman for the Ondo PDP, Kennedy Peretei, in a statement, also knocked the wife of the governor, Betty, for posting a picture of her husband in an aircraft with the caption “Homebound.”
