In a heartfelt interview with Seun
Okinbaloye on Channels Television from 00:01 to 03:29, Ondo State Governor
Lucky Aiyedatiwa reflected on the profound impact and vision of his predecessor,
the late Governor Rotimi Akeredolu, who passed away without witnessing
Aiyedatiwa’s governorship victory which he spoke about when he was alive.
Expressing his grief, Governor Aiyedatiwa described
Akeredolu as a visionary leader whose foresight played a pivotal role in
shaping the state’s leadership transition. “It is so painful and sad that he
didn’t live to see the manifestation of what he himself spoke about,”
Aiyedatiwa said during the interview.
The governor highlighted Akeredolu’s unwavering belief
in his potential to succeed him. “I do refer to himself sometimes as the man
who saw tomorrow. He knew that I was going to succeed him because he
wanted me to succeed him and he wanted to give me his full backing,” he said.
“He made several statements at different times
relating to this. I don’t know if you saw,” he noted.
