Five governors attended Akeredolu’s second term inauguration in Akure today.

Guests erupted in applause at the announcement of the presence of Edo Governor Godwin Obaseki at the International Culture and Event Centre, Akure, venue of the inauguration of Oluwarotimi Akeredolu (SAN) for second term as Ondo Governor on Wednesday.
