Otunba Alao-Akala lived nobly, died in nobility – Ajimobi

The death of a former governor of Oyo State, Otunba Adebayo Alao-Akala is a great loss to the people of Ogbomosho and Oyo State.

A son of former Oyo State governor, Mr Idris Abolaji Abiola-Ajimobi who stated this in a condolence message over the passing of Otunba Alao-Akala, sympathized with the people of Ogbomosho and Oyo State in general.

Mr Ajimobi explained that the late All Progressives Congress, APC Chieftain who died earlier on Wednesday in his Ibadan house, was like a father to him.

He described Otunba Alao-Akala as a role model who would be remembered as a generous man of the people who played a vital role in the development of Oyo State.

“He was a unifying force for the nation and his contribution to the growth and development of democracy in Oyo state and Nigeria cannot be forgotten in a hurry. “In all circumstances, he lived nobly and he died in nobility. He was an achiever”.

Mr Ajimobi expressed his sincere condolence to the members of his family as well as to the government and the good people of Oyo State and prayed that the Almighty God will grant him eternal rest and comfort all those he left behind.
