Oyo State Governor, Engineer Seyi Makinde has described the demise of former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Chief Richard Akinjide (SAN), as the end of an era and a huge loss to Oyo State, the legal profession, Nigeria and indeed, the world at large.
Governor Makinde, who also described the demise as the loss of a gem and a shining light, said that he was saddened by the death of the foremost legal luminary.
In a condolence message through his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Taiwo Adisa, the governor described late chief Akinjide as a legal luminary who served his state and the country to the best of his ability.
He maintained that the former minister’s death came at a period that his wealth of experience and robust versatility in history, politics and law was needed to offer direction to the current generation of Nigerian leaders.
The Oyo State helmsman said the late Akinjide before his demise had continued to lead intelligent and history-laden conversations, offered golden advice on governance and leadership and remained a great pillar of experience in politics and law.
Governor Makinde commiserated with Oloye Jumoke Akinjide, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the rest of the family, including the deceased’s political children.
