Senator Riliwan Adesoji Akanbi has commiserated with the family of Chief Solomon Mojere Akindele, the chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Oyo central senatorial district.
S.M Akindele, as the deceased was fondly called, died Sunday afternoon. He was in his mid 80s.
Akanbi, who represented Oyo South senatorial district between 2015 and 2019, described the deceased as a politician who lived a life worthy of emulation.
“I came in contact with Chief S.M Akindele early in my political journey. I was very close to him. He was organized. He was a loyal man. He was an Awoist and loyal to his friends, former governors Bola Ige and Lamidi Adesina. Every moment I had with him were great moment.
“He loved me and was committed to everything I did. I remember how he travelled all the way from Oyo to Lagos for the Fidau of my late father in-law. I was dazed to see waiting for us at the venue. That was Chief Akindele.
“We just lost a political giant, a core Awoist, a tutor par excellence, a political father and the first Aiyekooto. Adieu Baba S.M Akindele” Akanbi said, praying God to give the family the fortitude to bear the loss
