Former of governor of Ogun State and chairman of Krestal Laurel Engineering, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, fondly called OGD, has extolled the virtue of the late former governor of Oyo State, Chief Alao Akala.

Chief Akala was alleged to have died early this morning in his sleep after a brief illness.

In a condolence letter addressed to his widow, Chief Oluwakemi Alao Akala and made available to Freelanews, the former Ogun governor described Chief Akala as a leader who always made the interests of his people a priority.

“Your Excellency, I received with shock the news of His Excellency, Chief Christopher Alao Akala’s passage.

“Chief Akala was a friend, confidant and one with whom I maintained a close relationship until his death. He was with me a few months ago where we shared fundamental discussions and ideas on how to move our country forward and sat together a few days ago to honour one of our great friends at 70.

“I had looked forward to returning the visit to his Ogbomosho residence early this year.

“A consummate grass root politician who gave his all to his state.

“Chief Akala was a leader who sought for the betterment of his people, and this is evident in the love and adoration showered on him by the people, both in Ogbomoso and Oyo State as a whole,” OGD wrote.

The Krestal Laurel boss also condoled with the governor of Oyo State, Engr. Seyi Makinde, for the loss.

“I also commiserate with the Executive Governor of OYO state, His Excellency Engr. Seyi Makinde who has lost two of his predecessors in quick succession. I will miss my friend, and Oyo State will miss her hardworking Governor. Please accept the heartfelt condolences of Yeye and myself,” Otunba Daniel mourned.

Alao-Akala was born on June 3, 1950, in Ogbomoso, Oyo State, in the Ogbomoso North Local Government Area. He attended Osupa Baptist Day School in Ogbomoso before enrolling at Kamina Barracks Middle School, 5th Battalion of Infantry in Tamale, Ghana.
