The death of our dear Governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Odunayo Akeredolu, SAN means different things to different people. To mean, it is a personal loss.
He was a man of principle to the core, and a dogged fighter, who would fight for whatever he believed, even if it means standing alone.
Akeredolu was committed, without reservation, to the security and development of Ondo State. He was ready to secure the state, even at the expense of his own political career.
The sincerity of Arakurin to the transformation of the State is apparent in the three senatorial districts of Ondo State.
Akeredolu was a leader like no other. God knows I loved and respected him beyond words, and I will always do.
May his soul rest in perfect peace.
Signed
Engr. Ade Adetimehin, APC Chairman, Ondo State
Ondo APC mourns the passage of Akeredolu
The All Progressives Congress in Ondo State is in a sad mood, following the passage of it’s pragmatic and courageous leader, Arakurin Oluwarotimi Odunayo Akeredolu, SAN, CON.
The news of his death came like devastating storm. How are the mighty fallen!
Mr. Governor’s vision and resolve to further promote the development of the land and people of the Sunshine State have been deleted by the merciless hand of death.
Akeredolu provided leadership, not only for the South West zone, but for the entire Southern part of the country, when it become most imperative for courage to speak.
As the leader of our chapter, he provided the needed leadership, and gave the chapter two plots of land, on which the party erects it’s magnificent and enviable state secretariat.
Arakurin never shied away from making his position known on any matter, irrespective of whose ox is gored. This earned him the sobriquet; ‘Aketi, the Talk-n-do’.
The party expresses it’s sympathetic grief on this development to the entire Akeredolu family, the Anglican Communion, the Nigerian Bar Association, and the good people of Ondo State, that he served to the best of his ability.
May the soul of our dear governor rest in peace.
