Prince Dapo Abiodun, Chairman of the Southern Governors’ Forum and Ogun Governor, has expressed sadness over the death of Tayo Oluwatuyi, secretary to the Ondo State Government (SSG).
The chairman of the southern Governor, in a condolence letter he sent to Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, commiserated with Ondo Governor and the people of the State over the passing of
Oluwatuyi, saying it was a great loss to the State.
He said Oluwatuyi was a consummate public servant, thoroughbred professional, and highly conscientious individual whose imprints and strides in and out of the government in Ondo State have been nothing short of phenomenal.
“The news of his death came as a rude shock, but, as in all situations, we recognize that whatever deep affection and love we had for him pales into insignificance when placed side by side with the love of Almighty God, who has chosen this Yuletide period to call him into His bosom, and whose will remains inviolate.
“He was a brilliant administrator and sagacious politician. He was an embodiment of virtues and a strong bridge between the political class and the career officers. His stabilizing role in government will be missed by all.
“On behalf of the Southern States’ governors, I want to sympathize with His Excellency, Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, and the entire good people of Ondo State over the sudden demise of Oluwatuyi.
“I urge my brother, the State Executive Council, and the family and friends of the deceased to take consolation in the fact that the deceased lived a life of service for which he will be remembered for a long time to come.
“May God repose his soul and grant his immediate family the requisite fortitude to bear the irreplaceable loss,” he said.
