Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State on Friday condoled with a former interim National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Bisi Akande, over the death of his son-in-law, Mr Oyedele Akintola.
Sanwo-Olu, in a condolence message signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Gboyega Akosile, also commiserated with Akande’s daughter, Mrs Bolaji Akintola, over the demise of her beloved husband.
The governor said Akintola’s demise on Wednesday, at 60, was an irreparable loss, which would create a vacuum in the family.
He prayed that God would give the immediate and extended family of the deceased the grace to bear the great loss.
“On behalf of my family, the government, and the good people of Lagos, I want to express our heartfelt condolences to the family of our leader, Chief Bisi Akande and the late Barr Akintola on this great and irreparable loss.

“His family will miss him greatly, because of the vacuum his death has created.
“I urge family of the deceased, friends, and associates to take the death of Barr Akintola in good faith, knowing that he lived a fulfilled life.
“I pray that God will grant the late Barr. Oyedele Clement Akintola eternal rest and grant the family, particularly his wife and children, the fortitude to bear the irreplaceable loss,” Sanwo-Olu said.
