Following the death of Arakunrin Rotimi Akeredolu, the governor of Ondo State, on Wednesday, Mr. Biodun Oyebanji, the governor of Ekiti State, has proclaimed three days of mourning.

The three-day state mourning was declared by Governor Oyebanji on Friday, per a statement made by his Special Advisor on Media, Mr. Yinka Oyebode.

For the three days of mourning, all flags at state-owned facilities will be flown at half mast.

Meanwhile, Oyebanji visited the late Akeredolu’s family a condolence visit at their Ibadan home on Friday. He had already expressed his sympathies to the Ondo State government and people.
