December 27, (THEWILL) – The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun State has bemoaned the death of the Governor of Ondo State and former Nigerian Bar Association president, Arakunrin Rotimi Akeredolu, describing it as “the end of an era.”
In a press statement issued in Abeokuta on Wednesday, and signed by Ogun APC Publicity Secretary, Tunde Oladunjoye, the party described the late Akeredolu as a man of courage, who gave all he had to his State, Ondo, and the nation.
“From his highly successful legal practice, which spanned several decades and saw him emerge, not only as a Senior Advocate of Nigeria but also as 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,” Ogun APC said.
