Ondo State Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu has commiserated with the All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, Olusola Oke (SAN), over the death of his mother.

Madam Marian Oke died last Tuesday at 91 years during a brief illness.

The governor’s condolence message was issued in Akure by Mr. Olusegun Ajiboye, his Chief Press Secretary.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Oke is one of the APC governorship aspirants in the October 10 gubernatorial election in the state.

Akeredolu described the loss of a loved one, particularly a loving and good mother, as painful.

He, however, urged Oke to take solace that his mother lived a good and fulfilled life, saying her memory would forever be etched in the hearts of people.

“It pleased God to call mama to eternal rest at such a time like this. I bring the condolences of all the good people of Ondo State to the Oke family,” he said.
