Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has commiserated with the family and loved ones of the late Parakoyi of Ibadanland and the Chairman of the Mandola Group, Chief Bode Akindele.
The Governor took to his official Twitter handle to express his heartfelt condolence and sympathy for the loss of Chief Akindele.
Governor Makinde tweeted; ‘’I was saddened to hear that Chief Bode Akindele, the Parakoyi of Ibadanland has passed on. I join the good people of Oyo State to mourn an illustrious son: a successful entrepreneur, renowned industrialist & philanthropist. My thoughts & prayers are with his family & loved ones.
‘’My late father used to pray that I grow up to be like Chief Akindele. I was privileged to meet him recently, and we discussed using his medical facility, ARAMED, as an isolation centre for Oyo State. He was also the single largest donor to our state’s COVID-19 Endowment Fund.
‘’He will be sorely missed for his kind-heartedness and good deeds. May his soul rest in peace and may God grant his family the fortitude to bear the irreplaceable loss.’’
The Late Chief Akindele died yesterday in his home at Apapa, Lagos, at age 88.
