On Thursday, the family of the late Rotimi Akeredolu, the former governor of Ondo State, received condolences from Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa and state authorities in Ibadan.

Aiyedatiwa characterized the former governor’s passing as a huge loss for the entire country, not only for Akeredolu’s family and Ondo State.

According to Aiyedatiwa, the former governor gave his all to God, his loved ones, friends, Ondo State, and his career.

“Everyone is aware of the former governor’s affiliation with Christianity, specifically with the Church of Nigeria Anglican Communion.

He was the diocese’s chancellor and made significant contributions to the growth of the church.

Because God brings the saints home when it pleases him, we believe that he is the author of life. The death of God’s saints is precious to him.

“He has accomplished his goals, led a meaningful life, and had a significant influence. As his followers, we ought to be praying for the ability to accomplish what he did while he was still living.

“We believe that a crown is waiting for him in heaven based on what we have seen as his followers, and I think we will see him again on the day of resurrection in his glorified body.

“We have come to offer our condolences to the family on behalf of the government and the good people of Ondo state.” We wish to express our sympathy and solidarity with you on the passing of our beloved leader,” he uttered.

Pastor Kola Akeredolu, the deceased’s younger brother, spoke on behalf of the family and praised the governor for showing them affection.

He assured that the visit would not be taken for granted by the family.
