The Ondo State Government has described Hon. Adesina Samuel Ajayi, the Speaker of the House of Assembly who died today, as a bridge-builder, a man of integrity and a reliable team player who placed the interest of the state above personal consideration.
In a statement, Dr. Rotimi Adelola, the Secretary to the State Government, disclosed that the Speaker, who represented Odigbo Constituency 11 in the legislature, died of cancer of the urinary bladder.
"The Ondo state government received the news of the death of the Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Honourable Adesina Samuel Ajayi with disbelief but in total submission to the will of God,” he said, adding that it had been the hope of all that he would pull through the challenge.
“That death took him at this time can be no less of a shock to the government and people of the State, as the prayers of all [were] for full recovery," Adelola said.
The government commiserated with Mr. Ajayi’s family, his colleagues in the state legislature, his constituents in Odigbo Local Government Area, and the entire people of the state.
"We mourn his passage and can only pray for fortitude and strength from above to bear this irreparable loss," the statement added.
