President Muhammadu Buhari has commiserated with the Alao-Akala family, government and people of Oyo State on the passing of former Governor, Otunba Christopher Adebayo Alao-Akala.
The president’s condolence was conveyed in a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina.

“The President trusts that family, friends and associates who mourn the late Governor, will honour his vision of entrenching good governance in the country and passion to lift the downtrodden in the society.
“The President prays God almighty to grant the departed eternal rest and comfort those who mourn,” the statement read.
