Alao-Akala’s Death, a Huge Loss to Our State, Says HoR Member, Akande-Sadipe

The Lawmaker representing Oluyole Federal Constituency, Hon. Tolulope Akande-Sadipe has described the death of former Governor Adebayo Alao-Akala, as a huge loss, not just to Oyo APC, but to the state as a whole.

Akande-Sadipe spoke about the late politician in a statement issued by her Media Aide, Olamilekan Olusada in Ibadan on Wednesday.

According to Akande-Sadipe, the late Alao-Akala was an elder statesman, whose wealth of experience would be missed by all in the State chapter of the All Progressives Congress.

She stated: “On behalf of members of our great party in Oluyole Federal constituency, I condole with the late Chief Alao-Akala’s loved ones, family members, and the people of Ogbomosho, on the passing on to the glory of our father. This is a big loss to our party.

“I pray that God would usher his soul into eternal rest and grant the family he left behind the fortitude to bear the loss. He will be sorely missed.”
