National leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have commiserated with the Oyo State government over the death of the commissioner for Environment and Natural Resources, late Hon Kehinde Ayoola.
PDP said the party deeply shared the sense of loss with the governor over Ayoola, who was described as a close associate of Governor of Oyo State, Governor Seyi Makinde.
The national publicity secretary of the party in a statement said PDP was “indeed saddened over the death of Hon. Ayoola, who was also a very loyal and dedicated party member, who had always stood behind Governor Makinde and played key roles in his governorship campaign and eventual victory at the polls on the platform of our great party.”
The PDP recalled the commitment with which Hon Ayoola carried out his duties and the outstanding managerial skills with which he executed all assignments given to him by the governor.
The statement reads in part: because “Our party indeed grieves. Nevertheless, we take solace in the promise of the Almighty God regarding those who departed in good works.
“The PDP condoles with Governor Makinde, the Ayoola family, the government and people of Oyo state, as well as our party’s fold in the state and, prays God, in his mercies, to grant all of us the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss, and to the faithful departed, eternal rest, PDP prayed.
