Ondo First Family Reunites as Aiyedatiwa’s Wife Returns After Years Away
Oluwaseun, the wife of Ondo State Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, has returned to the state after several years away.
Her absence began while her husband was serving as Deputy Governor, and it became a focal point in various speculations and political campaigns against him.
These speculations intensified during the contentious campaign to prevent Aiyedatiwa from becoming Acting Governor while his predecessor, Rotimi Akeredolu, was incapacitated due to health issues.
Despite her efforts to dismiss the claims against her husband, the situation drew considerable attention.
Against all odds, Aiyedatiwa was appointed Acting Governor—thanks to an intervention by President Bola Tinubu—and later became the substantive Governor following Akeredolu’s passing on December 27, 2023.
On November 16, 2024, Aiyedatiwa won the election to begin a new term starting February 24, 2025.
Throughout this journey, speculation regarding a troubled marriage loomed over him.
However, his wife’s recent return ahead of the February 24 swearing-in ceremony has quelled these rumors, especially those propagated by his opponents, who suggested he was struggling with his marriage.
The Governor’s wife marked her return by accompanying her husband to a public event in the state capital, Akure.
Following her return, the Governor’s supporters are now responding strongly to previous speculations about their marriage, emphasizing that her absence had primarily been due to “security” concerns. Read More
