PETER OBI PAYS CONDOLENCE VISIT TO LATE AKEREDOLU’S FAMILY
In the capital of Oyo State, Ibadan, on Tuesday, Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate for the general election of 2023, made a condolence visit to the family of the late Rotimi Akeredolu, the governor of Ondo State.
Along with political economist and leader of the Labour Party, Pat Utomi, Obi paid a visit to the late governor’s family on December 27. The governor passed away on that day.
The former governor of Anambra State referred to Akeredolu as a supporter of a reorganised and successful Nigeria in a post on his X Twitter.
His post read, “Today, together with my very dear elder brother, Prof Pat Utomi, I arrived Ibadan, Oyo State, to commiserate with the bereaved wife of Late Gov Rotimi Akeredolu, Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu, and the entire Akeredolu Family, as we all mourn the death of Gov Akeredolu.
“While Gov Akeredolu was the President of the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, and subsequently as a Governor, he stayed consistent on how to build a better Nigeria where there would be respect for the rule of law, security of lives and properties of Nigerian citizens.
“He believed in a restructured and productive Nigeria. May God who it pleased to call him home at this time grant him eternal rest and grant his dear wife, Mrs Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu, the entire Akeredolu family, and all of us who mourn him, the fortitude to bear his irreplaceable loss.”
