PHOTOS: Akeredolu’s mausoleum unveiled by family in his Owo hometown

The family of the late former Governor of Ondo State, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, has unveiled a mausoleum in his honour in Owo, his hometown.

The structure, named the Oluwarotimi O. Akeredolu Mausoleum & Memorial Park, was revealed on Friday by Babajide Akeredolu, one of the late governor’s sons, who shared photos on Facebook.

“The Oluwarotimi O. Akeredolu Mausoleum & Memorial Park. Happy to share this with the public now. Grateful for the opportunity the family gave me to go to town on putting this place together,” Babajide wrote.

He added, “Four-year post requirements completed. See you in 2028.”

Tribune Online earlier reports that the friends, family, professionals, and political associates of the late APC stalwart on Friday converged on his Owo country home to remember and celebrate him.

This was just as the state government organised a lecture to commemorate Akeredolu’s passing at the International Event Centre, The Dome, in Akure, the state capital.

The two-fold event, held simultaneously, was attended by several dignitaries who gathered at The Dome and his residence in Owo to eulogise the late Southern Chairman of the Governors’ Forum.

Akeredolu, who served as Ondo State governor from 2017 to 2023, passed away on December 27, 2023, in Germany after battling prostate cancer. He was 67 years old.
