Don’t mourn Rotimi Akeredolu – Jimoh Ibrahim

Senator Representing Ondo South Senatorial District, Dr. Jimoh Ibrahim, CFR has condoled the wife and family of the late Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, saying they should not mourn because it’s sure Akeredolu is going to heaven.

Senator Ibrahim stated this on Friday, December 29, during a condolence visit to Arabinrin Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu, wife of the deceased at their Ibadan residence.

Ibrahim consoled the family, saying it is sure the late governor would make heaven judging by his works while alive, noting that death only becomes painful if one is not sure if one’s relation is going to heaven.

Accompanied by his wife and son, Dupe and Seun respectively, Senator Ibrahim said the late governor has etched his name on the heart of every Nigerian through various roles he played in ensuring true federalism is practised and adherence to rule of law in the country.

He said: “It is normal for us to cry when we lose our loved ones, but Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu ‘s death is not painful.

“Death is only painful when you are not sure of heaven. So, Aketi’s death is not painful because he’ll surely make heaven.

“Let us console ourselves by his dealings and relationship with people both the high and lowly in the country.

“As the governor of Ondo State his programmes were people -oriented and related with everyone

“As a Senior Advocate he fought for people’s rights pro bono and pressured all governments at the center to ensure Nigeria is governed on the platform of true federalism.

“No doubt, we will miss him a great deal for a long time to come.”

Senator Ibrahim, however, prayed that God would grant the family the fortitude to bear the irreplaceable loss.
