He said, “As the running mate of the late Oluwarotimi Akeredolu in the 2012 Ondo election, he demonstrated huge traits of political maturity and took the development of the state as his top priority.”
According to a statement signed by the campaign organisation spokesperson, Oluwagbenga Ajongbolo, “the good doctor, with his other comrades, including President ‘Bola Ahmed Tinubu, had a nationwide influence on the founding and preservation of the APC, which has now grown across the country.
“Otunba was there, right from the beginning. He was a rallying point for foundational members of the All Progressives Congress and has been with the party since its formation stage.
“His contributions to building the party, both in Ondo State and the whole nation, cannot be overemphasised.
“We send our condolences to the family and entire people of Ikale Land. We are assured of God’s continuous protection of the family and friends he left behind. May they be granted the fortitude to bear this irreplaceable loss.”
