Jubilation as Aiyedatiwa’s Wife Returns After Long Absence
The return of Ondo State First Lady, Mrs. Lucky Aiyedatiwa, to the Government House on Saturday sparked widespread excitement after months of speculation about her absence.
Her reappearance coincided with the wedding ceremony of the governor’s niece at the Government House chapel, leaving guests stunned. Witnesses said the moment she walked into the chapel, the atmosphere changed, with attendees erupting in applause.
Sources close to the family revealed that Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa and his wife had been making efforts to reconcile ahead of his February 24 inauguration. Religious leaders and concerned stakeholders had reportedly intervened to mend the rift, leading to her long-awaited return.
The governor, who was hosting a separate event within the premises, was said to have been taken by surprise when informed of her presence. Her absence had previously sparked discussions among residents, with many calling for her return to play an active role in state affairs.
During the wedding, the officiating priest publicly acknowledged her presence, addressing her as “Her Excellency,” a remark that drew another round of applause from the congregation.
Her return comes at a critical time in the state’s political landscape, as Governor Aiyedatiwa prepares to be sworn in for his first full term. While neither the governor nor his wife has made an official statement, political observers believe her reappearance could have significant implications for the administration.
