Governor Akeredolu’s tenure was marked by his unwavering dedication to the development and welfare of the people of Ondo State. His visionary leadership, boundless energy, and commitment to serving the public will be deeply missed. His passing leaves a void that will be challenging to fill, and his memory will forever be etched in the hearts of those who had the privilege of knowing him.

May we all find solace in the knowledge that Governor Akeredolu’s legacy will continue to inspire and guide future generations. May his family, friends, and loved ones find strength and comfort in the cherished memories they hold.

In the same vein, I would also like to extend my warm congratulations to Hon. Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa on his swearing-in as the Governor of Ondo State. As he assumes this significant role, I have no doubt that he will continue Governor Akeredolu’s legacy, steering the state towards progress and prosperity. I wish Governor Aiyedatiwa wisdom, strength, and resilience as he leads the people of Ondo State during this challenging time.

May this transition be marked by unity, renewed hope, and a collective dedication to the welfare and development of the people. Let us honor Governor Akeredolu’s memory by continuing to work together, supporting the new administration, and striving for a brighter future for Ondo State.

In this time of both sorrow and new beginnings, my thoughts and prayers are with the government and people of Ondo State.

Accept my deepest sympathies and warmest regards,

*High Chief Hon. Afolabi Iwalewa*
