Akeredolu describes Akala’s death as personal loss

Ondo State Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu has described the death of former Governor of Oyo State, Chief Adebayo Alao-Akala, as a personal loss.

Governor Akeredolu, who recalled his relationship with Akala, as a former Governor and later APC chieftain, said he was a dependable friend.

A statement by the governor’s chief press secretary Richard Olatunde laments that the Southwest, especially Oyo State have lost a giant and quintessential politician.

The statement notes that Akala was committed to friendship, progress and development of the society till he gave up the ghost.

Akeredolu commiserates with Chief Akala’s wife, Kemi; his children; and the entire family as well as the government and the people of Oyo State.
