Akeredolu, Courageous Defender Of The People -Alake

By Georgina Humphrey

Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Dr. Dele Alake has described the late Governor of Ondo State, Rotimi Akeredolu, as an irrepressible fighter and courageous defender of the people.

This is contained in a statement signed by the Special Assistant Minister on media, Mr. Segun Tomori in Abuja.

The statement explains that Ondo State has lost a gem and a quintessential progressive who is always at the forefront of defending his people and fighting for the emancipation of the downtrodden.

“I am deeply shocked by the loss of a brother and friend and indeed one of the leaders of the progressive movement, late Governor Rotimi Akeredolu.” Dr. Alake states.

According to Dr. Alake, Governor Akeredolu carved a niche for himself as a bold and irrepressible defender of the interests of Ondo people and the Yoruba nation and his voice resonated across the country as a leader in the struggle for the entrenchment of true federalism.

“As the Ondo State Governor, he made the welfare of the people the focal point of governance”.

“Nigeria has lost a titan, but we are consoled by the fact that he left an indelible mark in the political firmament. I commiserate with President Bola Tinubu and the good people of Ondo State on this irreparable loss” he adds.

“May Aketi’s soul rest in the bossom of the Lord” the minister stresses.
