According to the Ondo leader, “His calmness and dedication towards caring for everybody was loved by all. He will be sorely missed. My heartfelt condolences to his family, especially his wife who is a big cheerleader of this administration.”
The governor revealed that he is still in isolation after he contracted COVID-19 and wished the family of the late fortitude to bear the loss.
