Governor Biodun Oyebanji of Ekiti State has vowed that his government would immortalise the late Chairman of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Ekiti State, Barrister Paul Omotosho, in recognition of his commitments to the development of the State.
The Governor made the pledge in Ado-Ekiti while receiving representatives of the Forum of State Chairmen of the APC who were in his office to present the Forum’s letter of condolence.
The Governor noted that the gesture is designed to preserve Omotoso’s legacies of service, humility and loyalty.
While emphasizing the late chairman’s unwavering dedication to the party and his selfless service to the state and humanity, Oyebanji said the deceased was a dedicated leader, unifier and highly committed party leader.
Oyebanji also promised that his administration would provide adequate support for the family of the deceased to ensure that the vacuum left is not noticed.
“This is a very tough moment for us, and like you said, Barrister Omotosho was a very straightforward person; he was loyal and humble. We promise you before God and man that whatever we can do as a government to ensure the family doesn’t suffer, we would do.
“We would ensure, even though we cannot replace him, that whatever we can do to lessen the burden and the pain of his departure we shall do, God helping us. We wouldn’t stop there, we’re going to immortalize him and we’ll give him a befitting burial, “Oyebanji said.
