Immediate Past Ekiti Attorney-General Pays Tribute to Aketi

On hearing the news of the death of the Governor of Ondo State, Oluwarotimi Odunayo Akeredolu, CON, SAN (fondly called Aketi), which sad event occurred last Wednesday, December 27, 2023, this is what the immediate past Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice of Ekiti State had to say about Aketi:

“I find this excerpt from Barack Obama’s eulogy of Ted Kennedy comforting at this moment of grief: 

“We cannot know for certain how long we have here. We cannot foresee the trials or misfortunes, that will test us along the way. We cannot know God’s plan for us. What we can do, is to live out our lives as best we can with purpose, and love, and joy. We can use each day to show those who are closest to us how much we care about them, and treat others with the kindness and respect that we wish for ourselves. We can learn from our mistakes, and grow from our failures. And, we can strive at all costs to make a better world, so that someday, if we are blessed with the chance to look back on our time here, we can know that we spent it well; that we made a difference; that our fleeting presence had a lasting impact on the lives of other human beings.”

This is how Oluwarotimi Akeredolu lived. This is his legacy. 

We carry on.

May God Bless Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, and may he rest in eternal peace.
