“On behalf of my family, I commiserate with Governor Seyi Makinde, the good people of Oyo State and the entire Alao-Akala family, over the death of Otunba Christopher Alao-Akala. May God who called him home grant him eternal rest and give all who mourn him, the fortitude to bear the loss,” Obi said.
