The Kebbi State governor, Dr Nasir Idris has condoled with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, All Progressives Congress (APC) and Ondo State Government over the death of Governor Rotimi Akeredolu.
The Governor made this known in a condolence message in Birnin Kebbi
Idris said the death of Akeredolu, whom he described as an iconic politician as a great loss not only to his immediate family and Ondo people, but also a significant loss to the entire APC family and Nigeria at large.
Akeredolu died at the age of 67 in Lagos in the early hours of Wednesday after a protracted illness.
Gov. Idris recalled that the late politician had left a vacuum, which would be difficult to be filled in view of his indelible mark not only in the political space of Nigeria, but also his gigantic achievements in the legal profession.
“On behalf of myself, Kebbi State Government and the good people of Kebbi State, I wish to render our condolences to Mr President, APC family, Ondo State Government and the immediate family over the death of a distinguished politician,” he said.
The governor encouraged the family and people of Ondo State to take heart and accept the will of God Almighty in good faith.
