In January, Richard Olatunde, his chief press secretary, had said though the governor was battling some health challenges, he is receiving treatment and discharging his duties.
“The leave which commenced on 7th of June, extends to 6th July, 2023 due to the Public Holidays on June 12 (Democracy Day) and Eid el Kabir (28th and 29th June, 2023),” the letter reads.
He said the governor has directed Lucky Aiyedatiwa, his deputy, to act in his stead.
