ALAO AKALA: We ‘ve lost a gem, says Akintola

A Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) and Oyo state All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship aspirant, Chief Adeniyi Akintola has paid a glowing tribute to the late former Governor Adebayo Alao-Akala, declaring that he would be greatly missed.

Akintola, in a statement on Friday described the late governor as a rare gem, noting that indeed, Oyo State and Nigeria has lost an illustrious son.

“May the soul of our departed brother rest in the bossom of the almighty. His exit at a crucial time like this is such that cannot be explained. I don’t want to dwell on the stories doing the rounds about the domestic accident because it does not help in the recovery of the precious personality we’ve lost to the cold hands of death.

“Governor Christopher Alao- Akala is a man of the people. He aligns with the people at all levels starting from the grassroots to the top. We send our condolences to the immediate family at this hour of a painful loss.

“Our hearts are also with relatives, his community, friends political associates and our people in general. We pray that God grant all of us the strength and courage to bear this irreparable loss.

“Indeed Oyo State and Nigeria has lost an illustrious son. In Alao Akala, we have lost a gem”, the statement read.
