Akeredolu Mourns Loss Of Protocol Chief

It is certainly no good news for Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State following the unfortunate losses of few of his strategic aides within six months.

Ondo State Governor is mourning again in the new year following the painful death of his Chief of Protocol, Tosin Ogunbodede.

This is coming a few weeks after Governor Akeredolu’s mourned the death of his Commissioner of Regional Integration and Special Duties, Professor Bayonle Ademodi.

Ogunbodede died on Saturday died in a ghastly accident while returning from Ibadan.

Late Ogunbodede died alongside his driver when the Toyota Corolla car they were riding in rammed into a trailer along Ilesa-Akure road.

The remains of Ogunnodebe would arrive Owo, his hometown today for commencement of preparations for his burial without further delay.

Ondo Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Donald Ojogo, who stated this in a press statement said late Ogunbodede discharged his assigned duties with utmost attention and responsibility.

Ojogo described Ogunbodede as a very loyal political lieutenant of Governor Akeredolu.

According to the statement, “For Governor Akeredolu, this is a personal loss. It becomes more emotional when it’s recalled that the loyal and dedicated Tosin stopped by at the Governor’s Law Hub, Ibadan, to greet his Principal while returning to Akure from his uncle’s residence.

“Even with a heavy heart, Governor Akeredolu enjoins all to take solace in the fact of God’s infallibility-He Giveth and Taketh. This is just as he expresses the heartfelt condolence of his immediate family, Government and the good people of Ondo State to the wife, children as well as the family of his late CoP.

“The Ondo State Government shall unveil burial plans after due consultations with the family of the deceased.”

In July last year, Ondo Commissioner for Health, Dr. Wahab Adegbenro, died of COVID-19 complications.
