Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State on Thursday commiserated with the government and people of Ekiti State over the death of former governor of the old Ondo State, Evangelist Bamidele Ishola Olumilua.
Condoling with family members, friends and political associates of the consummate politician, Governor Akeredolu said the Evangelist Olumilua achieved remarkable and indelible feats as the governor of the old Ondo State from January 1992 to November 1993.
He described the late Evangelist Olumilua as a great mind who injected a lot of thinking into governance while conducting the affairs of the old Ondo State.

Akeredolu lamented that the death of the illustrious son of Ekiti at 80 amounted to further depletion of the generation of politicians who believed that politics and governance were about service to the people.
He said: “Olumilua lived a good, worthy and exemplary life from which younger generations can learn and imbibe the attributes of discipline, strong character, forthrightness, patience and hardwork.”
The governor prayed that the Almighty God would grant the soul of the great politician eternal rest and comfort his family, friends and political associates.
