It is with profound sorrow that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu announces the passing of Oluwarotimi Odunayo Akeredolu, the esteemed Governor of Ondo State, a beloved brother, and a stalwart leader.
Rotimi Akeredolu, a fearless defender of justice, left an indelible mark on our nation through his unwavering commitment to equity and fairness. As a senior advocate, attorney general, President of the Nigerian Bar Association, and Governor of Ondo State, he tirelessly advocated against injustice, leaving an enduring legacy.
In the face of security challenges, Rotimi’s advocacy led to the establishment of local police in the South West, showcasing his commitment to a more secure nation. His tenure as Governor of Ondo State saw remarkable progress, with extensive infrastructure development, educational initiatives, and healthcare facilities that transformed the landscape.
President Tinubu, a close confidant, recounts their joint journey as members of the progressive family, fighting battles for progressive governance across the South West, Edo State, and Nigeria. Rotimi’s uncommon courage as a legal luminary shone in the pursuit of justice, notably in reclaiming stolen mandates.
Governor Akeredolu’s untimely departure is not just a loss to the people of Ondo State but a blow to the governing APC and the entire progressive family. President Tinubu extends condolences to Rotimi’s family, urging them to find strength in this national tragedy. The President also expresses hope that Acting Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa will uphold the visionary governance left by the late political leader.
As the nation mourns a fighter and fearless defender of truth, President Tinubu pledges to honor Rotimi Akeredolu’s memory and ensure that his legacy of service is never forgotten.
