Your Excellency, it is with my heartfelt condolences that I write to commiserate with you and the entire people of Ondo state on the passing away of your boss and predecessor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN.
There is no gainsaying the fact that Arakunrin Akeredolu impacted positively on Ondo state and its people especially in the ares of economic turnaround, infrastructure development and security.
The late governor championed the course of safeguarding the entire Southwest states from the attacks of criminal elements, an effort which culminated in the establishment of the Western security outfit codenamed “Operation Amotekun”.
The presence of this security outfit in Ondo state has in no small measure reduced crime rate especially at the grassroots. Late Governor Akeredolu has no doubt written his name in gold in view of his many achievements, too numerous to mention. May God grant the repose of his soul and also grant his family and Ondo State the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
Having said all that, I want to congratulate you on your inauguration as the Governor of Ondo State. I pray that God will in His infinite mercy grant you the wisdom and strength needed to succeed in your new assignment. I have no doubt in my mind that you are prepared for the task having being deputy governor and acting governor before the current position. I want to implore you to continue on the path of giving people the dividends of democracy, a path your predecessor toed while alive. In addition, Posterity will judge you right if you complete all projects embarked upon by your former boss, Arakunrin Akeredolu before his untimely death.
Once again, I congratulate you, your Excellency, May your tenure in office bring development, fulfilment, joy and prosperity to every resident of our dear sunshine state.

Ifedore local government,
Ondo State.
