Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 Nigerian elections, Mr. Peter Obi and political economist, Prof. Pat Utomi on Tuesday visited the family of late Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu at his family house in Ibadan, Oyo state.
The duo were received by the wife of the Late Governor, Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu, and other family members.
The LP candidate shared details of the visit in a post via his X account and prayed for the departed.
Obi wrote: “Today, together with my very dear elder brother, Prof Pat Utomi, I arrived Ibadan, Oyo State, to commiserate with the bereaved wife of Late Gov Rotimi Akeredolu, Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu, and the entire Akeredolu Family, as we all mourn the death of Gov Akeredolu.
“While Gov Akeredolu was the President of the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, and subsequently as a Governor, he stayed consistent on how to build a better Nigeria where there would be respect for the rule of law, security of lives and properties of Nigerian citizens.
“He believed in a restructured and productive Nigeria. May God who it pleased to call him home at this time grant him eternal rest and grant his dear wife, Mrs Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu, the entire Akeredolu family,and all of us who mourn him, the fortitude to bear his irreplaceable loss.”
