A chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress in the state said arrangements were being concluded to swear in his deputy, Lucky Aiyedatiwa.

The state government has yet to speak on the matter.

But reacting to the development, AbdulRazaq, who is the Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, in a statement on Wednesday by his spokesperson, Rafiu Ajakaye, described Akeredolu as an “exceptional statesman who made indelible marks in public service”.

“My heartfelt condolences go to the Progressives Governors’ Forum, the government and people of Ondo State, the Nigerian Bar Association, and the immediate family of my dear brother and colleague His Excellency Olurotimi Akeredolu SAN.


“A frontline lawyer and conscientious politician of a progressive bent, His Excellency would be remembered for his courage, patriotism, and immeasurable contributions to Nigeria’s constitutional and sociopolitical development.

“As painful as his exit is to all of us, we take solace in his fine legacies as a gentleman and statesman. We ask God to repose his soul and look after his family,” the statement read.

The best Adjective to describe Aketi. A Man of courage.

When Fulani marauders invaded the SW. He stood still and called off the bluff of the FG,despite they being in the same political party and Buhari's AG,Abubaker Malami who didn't want Amotekun to see the light of the day.

Himself and Seyi Makinde were Men of Courage.

Seyi was even in a worst situation as it was his first term. The Oyo APC were ready to destroy Oyo state siting insecurity and play the same playbook they did for Jonathan.

But Seyi stood tall. Himself and Akeredolu said Enough is Enough. We can't allow our people to be killed like chickens while the police look the other way as their hands were tied.

Even Tinubu looked the other way with his infamous "Where are the Cows"

Today,If tomorrow we are having State police. The SW has a mini state police already with Amotekun in place. It will just be upgraded.

He also asked for Power shift to the South. Saying even if Obi wins the presidency he was okay with it as long as Power was shifting to the South

Rest in Peace Govornor Rotimi Akeredolu

Amotekun Field Marshall

Ok

RIP Aketi

Which courage

Life.
His Chapter has come to an end.
So sad, it was a terminal disease.
Everyone saw it coming.
May his soul R IP

This man was overseas getting treatment and recovering. Why did they force him to return, just so power wouldn't be transmitted to his deputy? Now that his gone, can they still hold on to that power?

Once people find themselves in power, they try to do everything possible to hold on to it.

Selfishness of his wife, son and cabinet members. Nlfpmod they forget we ate all, only living in the passage of time......

Politicians wants to sound nice when they send condolence, but deep In their activities is wickedness and looting the publics common treasury and they forget they would be remembered for the good they did when they help sway to power.

Say no to taking public resources !!!!!!!!
