- He said he was confident that Akeredolu was in heaven, adding that the one time Nigerian Bar Association president lived a good life.
Ondo South Senator, Jimoh Ibrahim, says there’s no reason to be saddened by the death of late governor Rotimi Makinde.
He said he was confident that Akeredolu was in heaven, adding that the one time Nigerian Bar Association president lived a good life.
Ibrahim state that it was natural for one to despair and cry when one lost a loved one, but the knowledge that Akeredolu made an impact during his lifetime should be a balm that soothes the heavy heart of the grieving family.
The Senator spoke on Friday when he paid a condolence visit to Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu, wife of the deceased, and the family at their Ibadan residence.
Accompanied by his wife, Dupe and son, Seun, Senator Ibrahim, during the condolence visit, recalled the roles played by Akeredolu during his lifetime, which he said would make the former Governor unforgettable.
He also prayed that God would grant the family the fortitude to bear the irreplaceable loss.
He said: “It is normal for us to cry when we lose our loved ones, but Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu ‘s death is not painful.
“Death is only painful when you are not sure of heaven. So, Aketi’s death is not painful because he’ll surely make heaven.
“Let us console ourselves by his dealings and relationship with people, both the high and lowly in the country.
“As the governor of Ondo State his programmes were people-oriented and related with everyone
“As a Senior Advocate, he fought for people’s rights pro bono and pressured all governments at the center to ensure Nigeria is governed on the platform of true federalism
“No doubt, we will miss him a great deal for a long time to come.”
