In a statement issued by his chief press secretary, Richard Olatunde, Akeredolu said, “We received the news of the death of one of our foremost leaders, a former military governor of our dear state, Major General Opaleye (Rtd) with great sadness.

“This great man was Governor of the old Ondo State comprising the present Ondo and Ekiti States from August 1986 to December 1987 during the military regime of General Ibrahim Babangida.

“His death signalled a depletion in the array of resourceful and prominent figures that have nurtured our sunshine state to its present glory. We are saddened by his departure.
