THE Ondo State governor, Mr Rotimi Akeredolu, has mourned the passing of his Chief of Protocol, Tosin Ogunbodede, who died in a road crash alongside his driver on Saturday while returning from Ibadan, the Oyo State capital on Saturday.
The car they were travelling in reportedly rammed into a trailer along Ilesa-Akure Road.
The Ondo State Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Donald Ojogo, in a statement, said late Ogunbodede discharged his assigned duties with utmost attention and responsibility.
Ojogo described Ogunbodede as a very loyal political lieutenant of Governor Akeredolu.
The statement read, “For Governor Akeredolu, this is a personal loss. It becomes more emotional when it’s recalled that the loyal and dedicated Tosin stopped by at the Governor’s Law Hub, Ibadan, to greet his Principal while returning to Akure from his uncle’s residence.
“Even with a heavy heart, Governor Akeredolu enjoins all to take solace in the fact of God’s infallibility-He Giveth and Taketh. This is just as he expresses the heartfelt condolence of his immediate family, Government and the good people of Ondo State to the wife, children as well as the family of his late CoP.
“The Ondo State government shall unveil burial plans after due consultations with the family of the deceased.”
