He said: “We are here representing our Governor, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, to commiserate with you on the demise of your wife, Mama Elizabeth Oluwakemi Arogbofa. We know what you represent, not just in Ondo State, but in Nigeria, as a true and patriotic elder statesman that I personally respect.
“We value your contribution to nation-building, as we all hold you in a very high esteem. On behalf of Mr Governor, the people and government of Ondo State, I urge you and the family to take solace in the life of impact that Mama lived.
“It is our prayers that God will continue to strengthen you all, and give you necessary strength and comfort.”
