Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa of Ondo State has paid a
condolence visit to the family of his late predecessor Rotimi Akeredolu in
Ibadan Oyo State.
Aiyedatiwa led some members of the State Executive Council
and Ondo State House of Assembly members to commiserate with the Akeredolu
family at his Jericho residence.
Recall that Aiyedatiwa, who was formerly deputy to the late
Akeredolu took over the mantle of leadership on Thursday.
Aiyedatiwa has to uphold Akeredolu’s legacies.
“We have to do this because he has always been our leader, a
courageous one for that matter, one who has governed Ondo state in the last six
and a half to seven years, with great courage and with so many legacies he has
left behind,” the governor said.
While condoling with the family over the death, Aiyedatiwa
promised to emulate Akeredolu’s values and also keep “on with the legacies that
he has left behind”.
Aiyedatiwa signed the condolence register during the visit
to Akeredolu’s family.
At the event, the Akeredolu family thanked the delegation
for the visit as prayers were said for the grieving people with Aiyedatiwa
leading others to sign the condolence register.
The governor’s visit came amid condolence messages that have
continued to pour in following Akeredolu’s death.
