President Bola Tinubu has described the former governor of Ondo State, late Rotimi Akeredolu, as a man who never shook in telling the truth.
President Tinubu said this on Friday at the funeral service held at St Andrews Church, Imola in Owo.
He lauded the former governor’s courage and dedication to serve the state.
Represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima, he reiterated that the nation has lost an indomitable legacy of national service.”
“As we gather here today, we are confronted with one inexorable truth: seasons come and seasons go, much like the ebb and flow of our lives, and each of us shall go with the tides one after the other.
“We are also reminded that in this transient journey through life, we are but whispers in the wind. The parts of us that endure after we get to the end of our journey are the choices we make, and this moment is the ultimate confirmation of the noble paths trodden by our dear brother,” he said.
While tracing the late Akeredolu’s journey from his legal career to his pivotal role as governor of Ondo State, Tinubu also saluted him for his vast intelligence and the profound impact of his leadership, according to Daily Trust.
“There was no point in life where his voice shook in telling his truth. He was a vastly intelligent man whose passion has created quite a wide vacuum beyond this community,” he added.
