Akeredolu’s death ‘huge national loss’: PDP
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has mourned Ondo State former Governor Rotimi Akeredolu and described his death as a national loss.
In a statement by its national publicity secretary, Debo Ologunagba, in Abuja, the party described Mr Akeredolu as a courageous and amiable personality and brilliant lawyer.
He also described him as an outstanding administrator with a deep understanding and capacity for leadership, especially in his roles towards the nation’s unity, stability and development.
“His death is a huge national loss. He was an unrepentant fighter for fairness, equity and justice in the affairs of the nation.
“He believed in true federalism, respect, defence and protection of ethnic nationalities, which he advocated as a prerequisite for peace and development in our nation,” he said.
Mr Ologunagba commiserated with Mr Akeredolu’s widow, Betty, his children and the people of Ondo State.
He prayed to God to grant them the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss and, to the faithful departed, eternal rest in His bosom.
