Akeredolu’s Son Meets Tinubu In Lagos

Babajide Akeredolu, the son of the late Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, has met with President Bola Tinubu at his Ikoyi residence in Lagos.

Naija News gathered that Akeredolu’s son was not around when the newly sworn-in Governor, Lucky Aiyedtiwa, visited and commiserated with the family in their home in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.

According to Vanguard, Babajide Akeredolu met with the president on Thursday evening to brief him on the burial arrangements of his late father.

Recall that Babajide had revealed that his father died peacefully in his sleep at a hospital in Germany where he was undergoing treatment for protracted prostate cancer.

He added that burial arrangements would be announced by the family and state government in due course.

According to the statement: “He (Akeredolu) died peacefully departed in his sleep at a Hospital in Germany, where he was undergoing treatment for protracted prostate cancer.
