Akeredolu loses mother

Grace, the mother of Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, has been confirmed dead.

Governor Akeredolu confirmed the death of his mother via a string of tweets on his verified Twitter handle on Thursday morning.

He disclosed that his mother died in her sleep in the early hours of Thursday.

The governor tweeted: “My siblings and I announce, with deepest regret and total submission to the will of the Almighty, the passing into glory of our adorable, dutiful and ever dotting mother, Lady Evangelist Grace Bosede Akeredolu, this morning. She died peacefully in her sleep.

Though saddened and by the departure of Maami, the one Abiyamo we knew, we are consoled with the knowledge that, even as she transits to eternity, she will be guided by the strong hands of the angels of the light in which she dwelt during her eventful and fruitful sojourn on the terrestrial plane.

“Maami rest in perfect peace. Burial announcement will be made by the family,” Akeredolu stated.
