He said he was particularly saddened that a rare gem has gone, noting that his philanthropic works would remain indelible.

In a condolence message by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Lanre Lasisi, the Speaker prayed to God to give his family the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.

“Chief Bode Akindele was different things to different people. He touched the lives of people in positive ways one cannot imagine.

“The government and the people of Oyo State, and indeed Nigerians, have lost a rare gem. I will not forget in a hurry how the late Chief Bode Akindele used his fortune to better the lives of Nigerians from all walks of life.

“It is that character of a man who dedicated himself to the service to humanity, among other good characters of his, that we all will miss about the late Chief Akindele.
