Ondo State Governor Rotimi Akeredolu has announced the death of his mother, Lady Grace Akeredolu.
Akeredolu, who is the chairman of the Southern Governors’ Forum, said in a post on social media that she died on Thursday morning aged 90.
“My siblings and I announce, with deepest regret and total submission to the will of the Almighty, the passing into glory of our adorable, dutiful and ever dotting mother, Lady Evangelist Grace Bosede Akeredolu, this morning. She died peacefully in her sleep,” he said.
Akeredolu, a senior advocate of Nigeria, added that they were consoled with the knowledge that she has transited to eternity.
“Though saddened and by the departure of Maami, the one Abiyamo we knew, we are consoled with the knowledge that, even as she transits to eternity, she will be guided by the strong hands of the angels of the light in which she dwelt during her eventful and fruitful sojourn on the terrestrial plane,” the 66-year-old said.
Akeredolu celebrated his mother’s 90th birthday in February in Ibadan.
