Gov. Lucky Aiyedatiwa of Ondo State has promised to sustain the legacies of his predecessor, the late Oluwarotimi Akeredolu
Aiyedatiwa said this during a candlelight procession organised by members of the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA), Ondo State chapter, in honour of the late Akeredolu, at Government House, Akure, on Friday night.
He described Akeredolu as a fearless legal luminary and a dedicated leader.
The governor said Akeredolu’s commitment to justice and service to the people earned him the title of “Senior Advocate of the Masses.”
“What you have done this night is commendable; it means all you were doing before, when he was alive, was not eye service but genuine love. This means a lot to me personally.
“We will ensure we complete all the ongoing projects he left behind,” he said.
Aiyedatiwa appealed for continuous prayers, saying, “All you can do for us right now is to continue to pray for us that God should grant all of us the fortitude to bear this loss.”
Earlier, NBA Chairman, Akure Branch, Mr Bayo Aina, said the candlelight gathering signified their unwavering commitment to support and perpetuate Akeredolu’s impactful work, even in death.
Aina said the association would ensure that his legacy remained an illuminating beacon guiding the state’s governance and legal sphere.
