Ondo governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa State has promised that he will ensure that all the ongoing projects he left behind by his late predecessor, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu are completed.
Aiyedatiwa spoke during a candlelight procession organised by members of Nigeria Bar Association (NBA), Ondo State chapter, in honour of the late Akeredolu, at Government House, Akure, on Friday night.
“What you have done this night is commendable; it means all you were doing before, when he was alive, was not eye service but genuine love. This means a lot to me personally.
“We will ensure we complete all the ongoing projects he left behind,” he said.
Aiyedatiwa appealed for continuous prayers, saying, “All you can do for us right now is to continue to pray for us that God should grant all of us the fortitude to bear this loss.”
Earlier, NBA Chairman, Akure Branch, Mr Bayo Aina, said the candlelight gathering signified their unwavering commitment to support and perpetuate Akeredolu’s impactful work, even in death.
Aina said the association would ensure that his legacy remained an illuminating beacon guiding the state’s governance and legal sphere.
