With just weeks to Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa’s inauguration for his first full term on February 24, 2025, Ondo State’s First Lady, Mrs. Oluwaseun Esther Aiyedatiwa, has made a surprise return to the state. Her reappearance on Saturday, February 15, at the Government House in Akure coincided with the wedding of the governor’s niece, marking her first public outing in months.
Sources close to the family reveal that Mrs. Aiyedatiwa left the state due to a marital rift with the governor, which led to her withdrawal from public and official engagements. Reports suggest that the tension between the couple escalated late last year, prompting her temporary exit from Ondo State.
Her return, however, signals possible reconciliation, as religious leaders and political stakeholders have reportedly been working behind the scenes to restore harmony in the first family. At the wedding ceremony, her presence was met with excitement from guests, and the officiating priest’s acknowledgment of her as “Her Excellency” drew loud applause.
While neither the First Lady nor the governor has publicly commented on the situation, political analysts believe her return could influence the political atmosphere ahead of the inauguration. Many had raised concerns over her absence, as the role of the First Lady is seen as vital in the administration’s public image and governance stability.
With this unexpected development, all eyes are now on the Aiyedatiwas, as observers speculate on what this means for the state’s political and social landscape moving forward.
