- As Gov pays condolence visit to family, promises support
The late Secretary to the Government of Ondo State, Hon. Temitayo Oluwatuyi, lived a fulfilled life and made positive impacts on many people, Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa has said.
The Governor stated this when he led members of the State Executive Council on a condolence visit to the wife of the late Oluwatuyi and members of his family, in Akure, on Sunday.
The SSG died on Saturday while receiving treatment in the hospital after a car accident.
Governor Aiyedatiwa said late Oluwatuyi was a recurring decimal in the politics and governance of Ondo State, adding that the history of the state will not be complete without a mention of his impacts.
The Governor also spoke, via a video call, with the children of the deceased who are based outside the country.
Governor Aiyedatiwa extolled the virtues of Oluwatuyi, describing him as a complete gentleman who conducted his public and private life with decorum and humility.
The Governor, who prayed for the repose of the soul of the deceased, promised the support of the government for the family at this difficult time.
In the condolence register, the Governor wrote: “Hon Tayo Oluwatuyi, you came, you lived, you performed your God-given tasks and impacted lives. You have decided to leave us at a time we never expected but God said it is time to come home. May you have rest at the bossom of your creator, God. Amen.”
The Special Adviser to the Governor on Infrastructure, Pastor Ayoade Babalola, led the team in a special prayer for the family, the Akure community and the state.
Meanwhile, Governor Aiyedatiwa has declared a three-day mourning and prayers – from Sunday, 5th to Tuesday, 7th January, in honour of the late SSG.
