In a solemn statement issued today, His Royal Majesty Oba (Dr) Edward Kolawole Adejoyegbe Adewole, Akesoogun Orisa Obaluaye Mosu, Osalade II, the Osolo of Isolo Kingdom, expressed deep sorrow at the passing of the former Governor of Ondo State, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Odunayo Akeredolu (SAN), describing it as a rude shock to the community.
The monarch, who received his Staff of Office and Instrument of Appointment from the late Governor Akeredolu just over a year ago, reminisced about Akeredolu’s impactful leadership that elevated Isolo town among the royals in Ondo State.
“Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Odunayo Akeredolu (SAN), CON, was a great man in his lifetime and remains the same even in death.
“His demise in Germany in the early hours of Wednesday touches me and my town’s people a lot because coming by good people is not always easy.
“With Akeredolu, we had a good friend who made promises to make Isolo great and fulfilled those promises,” mourned Oba Adewole.
The Osolo of Isolo affirmed his commitment to the rule of law and cooperation with the government, stating that the Isolo community will extend its collaborative efforts to the new administration of Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa.
“The policy of my royalty and the Osolo-in-Council is based on the rule of law and cooperation with the government of the state.
We did not fail in this with the past government and, by God’s grace, we will not fail with the new government as we are traditionally prepared to collaborate and cooperate with the new administration of Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa towards collectively achieving a peaceful and greater Ondo State,” declared the Osolo.
The entire Isolo Kingdom mourns the loss of Governor Akeredolu while simultaneously extending a warm welcome to the newly inaugurated Governor, Sir Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, as the substantive leader and chief security officer of Ondo State.
