First lady Oluremi Tinubu and wife of the vice president Nana Shettima on Saturday paid a condolence visit to the family of the late ex-governor of Ondo State, Rotimi Akeredolu.
The duo met the bereaved family at their residence in Ibadan, Oyo State.
Mrs Tinubu said during the visit that her husband President Bola Tinubu loved and respected Akeredolu.
She said, “I keep asking when people ask someone, ‘Is somebody alright or is he sick?’ I said, ‘Who is well?’ We all have one ailment or the other, and it is only God that gives us each day to live by.

“He has done his best. He was a great, brave man, loved by my family, loved by my husband, and respected by my husband.
“We can only wish that the legacies he left behind could continue and endure. I wish his wife, his children, grand children and the family that God will comfort them and also ease their pains.
“They should live with the fact that the man has done well. He has done well to people, he will be solidly missed, and we pray that his soul rests in perfect peace.”
Akeredolu, a former president of the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA), died from prostate cancer on Wednesday, December 27, at the age of 67 in a German hospital.
