*Late Otunba Christopher Alao-Akala A bridge-Builder Indeed*

The rude shock still lingers and words keep failing me.

His Excellency Alao-Akala loved both young and old, he was a great asset to Nigeria.

He connected effortlessly well with many across socio-political profiles with a perculiar passion to join hands with other distinguished leaders in strengthening positionIng of our beloved All Progressives Party (APC) in Oyo State.

I got close to late Otunba Alao-Akala through my highly respected older cousin from Ibarapa and late Otunba nick-named me as ‘ọmọ-Aláṣẹ’ (Aláṣẹ’s son) from the first day I met with him and he was pleasantly loving and fatherly.

May God please strengthen the entire family he left behind and graciously sustain his legacies.

All is well.
