Former vice president Yemi Osinbajo and his wife Dolapo have condoled with the family of former Ondo state governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, who passed away on Wednesday, December 27.

“We pray that the Almighty God will comfort the family and people of Ondo State on this great loss. Amen. Sun re o Aketi Baba!”
