Former governor of Ondo state, Rotimi Akereodolu would have been 68 years today.
Mr Akeredolu, who was also former president of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), died of prostate cancer on December 27, 2023.
Celebrating his posthumous birthday, the state chapter of All Progressives Congress (APC) , described him as selfless leader.
According to a statement issued by the party through its spokesperson, Alex Kalejaiye, the former Governor contributions in all sectors, including Health, Education, road construction and repairs can not be forgotten in a hurry.
The party said the former Governor was an unrepentant advocate for justice, fair play, and true democracy.
The statements reads “The State chapter recalled some of the landmark decisions of the man fondly called Aketi, to include the creation of security network (Amotekun), to protect residents of the state from invaders, aggressive drive for industrialisation of the State.
“While the fly over bridge in Akure is ongoing, with the commitment of Governor Lucky Ayedatiwa, the completed interchange in Ore, on the ever busy Benin-Sagamu Road, has drastically reduced carnage in that section, and ensured unhindered flow of traffic”.
