The Asiwaju of Akureland reportedly died at about 3:00 am yesterday just two days after his wife Solape celebrated her 75th birthday.
Former governor of Lagos State and ACN leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed

consistent progressive leaders who made invaluable contributions to the
evolution of political development in the South-West and Ondo state in
particular where he hailed from.

progressive values and his fidelity to the principles of honor and
integrity, he was as constant as the Northern star; as immovable as the
rock of Gilbratar.’’
