Attorney General of the Federation(AGF) and Minister of Justice, Prince Lateef Fagbemi SAN, has described the death of Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State as a colossal loss to the country, the legal world and civil society organisations.
Prince Fagbemi said Akeredolu’s days as the president of the Nigerian Bar Association brought immense growth to the bar.
“I’m saddened by his death. He was a patriot, a goal-getter and legal luminary who served his state well and the entire country.
“He will be sorely missed by the NBA, Body of Benchers, Body of Senior Advocates, Nigeria Governors Forum and Southern Governors Forum” the AGF said.
In a statement on Wednesday, the AGF extended his sincere condolences to the family of the deceased, the government and people of Ondo State, and the entire nation, while praying God to grant his soul rest in peace.
