Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa of Ondo state on Friday, described the late governor of the state, Rotimi Akeredolu, as a courageous leader who spoke the truth to power and fought for the advancement of democracy and the rule of law.
Aiyedatiwa who stated this during the maiden edition of the Akeredolu Leadership Lecture Series held at the International Culture and Events Centre (The Dome), in Akure, said Akeredoluâs leadership was marked by integrity, transparency, and a deep understanding of the needs of the people if the state.
The governor led the state in honouring the legacies of his predecessor, late Akeredolu, during a lecture with the theme: âSecurity Sector Reform in Promoting Peace, Stability, and Development: The Ondo State Example.â
Aiyedatiwa who disclosed that the day was filled with mixed feelings, said: âtoday, we gather on the threshold of history, with mixed feelings, in commemoration of the first anniversary of the glorious but painful exit of our leader and mentor, the late Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Odunayo Akeredolu.
âOn that unforgettable day, 27th December 2023, mountains moved and the earth shook at the loss of the icon and courageous statesman who emptied himself in service to our dear Sunshine State and humanity.
âArakunrin Akeredolu was that courageous leader who spoke truth to power and fought for the advancement of democracy and the Rule of Law. His leadership was marked by integrity, transparency, and a deep understanding of the needs of our people.
âHe fought gallantly alongside his colleague governors in the Southwest to establish the Amotekun Corps, a home-grown security outfit that has become a reference point in Nigeria.â
He commended the late governorâs impacts on the stateâs fortunes through landmark achievements in infrastructure, education, healthcare, and economic development.

âHis administrationâs achievements remain profoundâroads, bridges, health centers, and education reforms that continue to inspire us.
âAkeredoluâs legacy of progress is evident everywhere, and his passion for the security of lives and property has made Ondo State one of the safest and most peaceful in Nigeria,â Aiyedatiwa stated.
Aiyedatiwa reiterated his commitment to continue with Akeredoluâs vision of development and good governance.
âOn my inauguration as constitutional successor, I made a solemn commitment to carry on his mantle of leadership. This is not just a promise; it is a sacred duty.
âWe have since mobilised contractors back to sites to complete abandoned projects, commenced new road constructions, and implemented impactful policies such as the N73,000 new minimum wage for workers.
âWe have also paid salaries and pensions up to date while providing financial assistance to our students,â he said.
Highlighting his administrationâs efforts to sustain Akeredoluâs legacy, Aiyedatiwa pointed out the strides made in agriculture, security, and infrastructure.
âThe construction of rural and urban roads, investments in agriculture, and prioritization of security through Amotekun are proof of our unwavering commitment.
âWe continue to work tirelessly to address the challenges facing our state and build upon the foundation laid by our late governor,â he added.
The Governor also acknowledged the contributions of the eventâs chairman, Bashorun Seinde Arogbofa, and the guest speaker, Chief Femi Falana, SAN.
He said: âWe were very intentional about the choice of these two great men. Chief Femi Falana was a close ally of the late governor, sharing a strong bond as a friend and colleague.
âBashorun Arogbofa, an elder statesman, has seen it all and continues to inspire us with his advocacy for a better Ondo State. Their presence enriches this momentous occasion.â
The event had renowned human rights lawyer and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana, SAN, as the keynote speaker.
In his address, Falana extolled Akeredoluâs courage and commitment to justice, recounting how he challenged institutional failings during his lifetime.
Falana said, âAkeredolu was a very courageous man. Even before judges, he was not afraid to call out wrongdoings. He was instrumental to the development of the people, whether as a student leader or as a governor.
âHis boldness in establishing the Amotekun Corps, even when it meant defying the Federal Government, is proof of his determination to protect his people.â
Falana noted that Akeredoluâs establishment of Amotekun has made Ondo State a reference point in security matters across Nigeria.
âToday, all 36 state governors have come together to approve state police, but it was Akeredolu who laid the groundwork by enacting the law that legitimised Amotekun.
âThat singular action has made Ondo State the most peaceful state in Nigeria,â he said.
Falana, however, lamented the prevailing insecurity in the country and blamed recent stampede tragedies on the failure of the police.
âThe deaths of 115 Nigerians in the recent incidents in Ibadan, Abuja, and Okija are unacceptable. The police failed to protect the people, and I hold them responsible.
âThe government must pay compensation to the families who lost their loved ones because of these failures,â he stated.
He emphasised the need for holistic reforms to tackle insecurity, pointing out that poverty and unemployment are major drivers of crime.
Falana also offered practical suggestions for economic growth in Ondo State, urging the government to harness its agricultural potential.
He called for the reorganization of the stateâs education system to prioritize technical and vocational training. On healthcare, he stressed the importance of functional social security systems.
Falana highlighted the importance of preserving Akeredoluâs legacy, saying: âThe greatest tribute to Akeredolu is the sustainability of his legacy. He showed us what leadership looks like, and it is now up to us to carry it forward.â
In his remarks, Chief Sehinde Arogbofa, Afenifere leader and chairman of the occasion, praised Akeredolu for his boldness in prioritizing the security and development of Ondo State.
He commended Governor Aiyedatiwa for sustaining the Amotekun initiative and called for continued efforts to deepen Akeredoluâs vision.
