The Ogun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has bemoaned the death of the governor of Ondo State and former President of the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, Arakunrin Rotimi Odunayo Akeredolu, describing it as “the end of an era.”
The APC, in a press statement issued in Abeokuta on Wednesday, and signed by the Publicity Secretary of Ogun APC, Tunde Oladunjoye, the party described the late Akeredolu as a man of courage, who gave all he had to his state, Ondo, and to the nation.
The APC said, “From his highly successful legal practice, which spanned several decades and saw him emerged, not only as a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, but also the President of the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA; through politics, he bestrode the scenes like a colossus and displayed loyalty, tenacity and integrity.
“Our party commiserates with the bereaved members of the Nigerian Governors Forum, NGF, families and friends of the departed governor and the people of Ondo State, while praying that God will comfort them and grant them the fortitude to bear the loss of an icon.”
